Alvin Goodman, who served on Florida's athletic commission in the 1990s, has perished via self-inflicted gunshot wounds. Goodman left behind notes saying he did not want to suffer any more. He was apparently distraught over kidney problems that may have worsened. In 1999, Goodman resigned from his boxing post after being accused of accepting improper gifts from people in the boxing industry. Boxingtalk extends its condolences to Goodman's widow and four children. source: miami herald
