"I was just told that he was walking the tracks, heading back home, and he's done that many times before," said Sylvia Pastrana, his former girlfriend and mother of their 14-year-old son, Antonio.
Local boxing legend Micky Ward trained Fraza, who gained fame on the 2005 NBC show "The Contender" and was attempting to make a comeback after battling Crohn's disease.
"He was going to try to make another run at it," said Ward. "It's just a shame."
