Swedish authorities investigating the murder of PokerListings.com founder Andreas Oscarsson are working on the assumption that the incident was a contract killing. 

Oscarsson was found dead on August 3. 

"At this point, we do not have any details other than he was found dead in his bed on the morning of August 3rd. He had been shot," the PokerListings.com website reported at the time.  PokerListings is one of the most recognized poker portals in the world.

Andreas left the operational side of PokerListings just over two years ago, shortly after the birth of his son. 

The man moved to the United States ten years ago but originally came from Trollhättan and had been on holiday in Sweden when he was shot dead.  Several relatives, including the 2-year-old boy, were in the house where the man was found dead.

Oscarsson was shot 6 times.
