Moroni Wilhem Schwalger

Former boxer's children racing to Samoa after his sudden death

Schwalger died suddenly on December 5 in Aleisa, Samoa, where he had been living since leaving Auckland in 2020.

He was 46-years-old, and leaves behind five children and their mother, who live together in New Zealand for schooling.

Kayla Schwalger, 21, is the eldest, and last saw her father in September in Samoa.

In an interview with Stuff, Kayla said she and her mother arrived in Samoa to figure out what had happened the day after her father died. She said they don’t have clear answers yet but an autopsy was held.
