JUSTIN LEVENS & WIFE FOUND DEAD ON WEDNESDAY

Former Ultimate Fighting Championship and World Extreme Cagefighting middleweight Justin Levens and his wife were found dead on Wednesday from gunshot wounds in their Luguna Niguel, Calif. home, according to a report on TMZ.com.

An online report from CBS 2 in Los Angeles, citing Sheriff's spokesman Jim Armomino, said that the couple was found in bed by the woman's mother, who then called 911.

Levens fought in numerous organizations over the past few years including the UFC, WEC and the IFL. The former Ruas Vale Tudo student was scheduled to compete on the first Affliction card in July of this year, but due to delays at the event, the fight was scrapped at the last minute. He later returned positive results for the drug Oxymorphone as part of his pre-fight drug testing and was subsequently fined and suspended for six months, which would have run through Jan. 15, 2009.

Born in Philadelphia on April 18, 1980, Levens was 28 at the time of his death. His wife, identified by CBS 2 as Sarah McLean-Levens, was 25.
