Gatti's death not a suicide: manager

According to his former manager, Arturo Gatti’s death wasn’t a suicide. Pat Lynch said the result of a ten month private investigation will be released at the end of the month.

Montreal’s late boxing champion was found dead in July 2009. He was vacationing with his family in Brazil at the time. Gatti’s widow was initially arrested for his murder but later released. Police concluded he hung himself from a wooden staircase column in their rented apartment.

Lynch said he spoke to the welterweight champion before his final trip and said he didn’t appear depressed. Arturo Gatti had retired in 2007 with a career record of forty wins and nine losses.
