The 92-year-old sister of boxing legend Joe Louis was found frozen to death outside her apartment at an assisted-living center, according to media reports.
Her brother, Joe Louis was nicknamed "The Brown Bomber" and held the heavyweight boxing championship for more than 11 years. His most famous bout was a June 1938 Yankee Stadium knockout of German boxer Max Schmeling, in a battle that was billed as a clash between America and Nazi Germany. He fought from 1934 to 1951, retiring after his last fight against Rocky Marciano. Louis died in 1981.
