The champ’s daughter followed in her father’s footsteps.
George Foreman‘s daughter Freeda Foreman passed away recently at the age of 42.
According to TMZ, Freeda was found unresponsive in her home near Houston, Texas, by a family member. As a result, officers with the Harris County Sheriff’s Office were called to her home around 6:13 p.m. on Friday night. In addition, the outlet also reported that police are awaiting a report from the coroner’s office to determine the cause of death.
However, foul play is not suspected.
