Ricky Hatton died by suicide coroner rules

The death of former boxing world champion Ricky Hatton has officially been ruled a suicide.

Last month, the 46-year-old retired boxer, was found hanged at his home, a coroner’s court heard Thursday.

Ricky Hatton was discovered “unresponsive” by his manager, Paul Speak, on the morning of Sept. 14 at his house in Hyde, Greater Manchester, the Stockport Coroner’s Court was told.

“The provisional cause of death is given as hanging,” Alison Mutch, senior coroner for Manchester South said.

The court was told that Hatton’s family last heard from him on Sept. 12, and that he was “well.”

Two days later, after missing an event, his manager arrived at the boxer’s home to take him to the airport to catch a flight to Dubai, and found Hatton dead.
