Former boxing world champion’s cause of death was hanging but his intention was unclear, inquest concludes
A coroner has said she “cannot be satisfied” that British former boxing world champion Ricky Hattonintended to take his own life.
Hatton, 46, was found dead in his home on 14 September, with the inquest concluding that the official cause of his death was hanging.
But the veteran boxer “was the best he had been in years” in the lead-up to his death, his family told Stockport coroner’s court.
Hatton’s body was found in his home in Hyde, Greater Manchester, after police received a call from a concerned neighbour, later revealed to have been his manager, Paul Speak.
