Gatti: A new investigation rules suicide absolutely impossible

[Mars_ax]

This is interesting, it's still hard for me to believe my boy Arturo hung himself:

NEWARK, N.J. -- A private probe into the 2009 death of former boxing champion Arturo Gatti will disprove the official conclusion that it was a suicide, Gatti's former manager said Tuesday.

Gatti, a popular junior welterweight champion who retired in 2007 with a career record of 40 wins and nine losses, was found in July 2009 at an apartment he and his family had rented in the Brazilian seaside resort of Porto de Galihnas.

Brazilian police initially considered Gatti's wife, Amanda Rodrigues, a prime suspect and arrested her for his murder but released her a few weeks later. They eventually concluded after an autopsy that Gatti hanged himself with a handbag strap from a wooden staircase column in their apartment.

Former manager Pat Lynch said Tuesday he hired Paul Ciolino, a private investigator from Chicago, about 10 months ago to take a new look at the case. He said the results of the investigation would be released at a news conference at the end of this month.

I dunno.

What else was an investigation paid for by the family going to find? Was it really likely that these guys were going to come back and say "Sorry, but your son/brother really did kill himself?"

I look forward to seeing what they come up with of course, but my guess is everyone is just going to have to live with never knowing what really transpired that night.

Yeah I heard about this too. They are claiming that the evidence they have will make it clear that Gatti did not kill himself. I kind of get what u r saying but I think it is more about closure for the family than anything else because I know from experience that nothing is worst that not knowing. I truly believe that if it was clear cut evidence that it was a suicide that the family would've tried to move on by now but considering the relationship status between Gatti and his wife and all the other variables surrounding the case I can't say I blame the family one bit.......even if it is partly about getting the money from the chick because that would be gutwrenching if I were in their shoes

IIRC, the Canadian government sent some investigators down right after he died and they concluded that the death was suspicious.

He was hammered. Besides, there are plenty of ways to kill people that don't involve overwhelming physically.

and lets not act like there couldn't of been a 3rd person, she was Brazilian and they were in Brazil, it's not like she couldn't have gotten a helping hand if the price was right

& if it's a woman it is most likely to be shooting or poison as we aren't generally physically strong enough to overpower men, drunk or not.

Wasn't he intoxicated enough to down an elephant?

[Howlin Mad Missy]

well, I've fallen asleep sitting on the toilet while my head was resting on the sink.....I still woke up when someone said my name. Not sure how drunk I would have to be to not put up any kind of reflex struggle if someone was trying to kill me

He was no angel either. I believe he had physically assaulted her etc., so IF she did it I'm sure there is plenty of blame to go around.
