Ricky Hatton

Ricky Hatton was a British former professional boxer and world champion. He is newsworthy due to the recent inquest into his death. Hatton, 46, was found dead at his home on September 14th. The inquest, held at Stockport coroner’s court, concluded that the official cause of death was hanging. However, the coroner stated that she “cannot be satisfied” that Hatton intended to take his own life. Hatton's family testified that he had been in good spirits leading up to his death, describing him as being the best he had been in years. The lack of conclusive evidence regarding intent makes this case significant, leaving the circumstances surrounding his death unresolved.
