MONTREAL – A Quebec coroner’s report into the 2009 death of champion boxer Arturo Gatti says there’s no hard evidence anyone killed him.
Gatti, a Canadian pugilist nicknamed “Thunder” who rose to fame in the U.S., died at a Brazilian resort in 2009.
The long-awaited report by Jean Brochu was released Wednesday and was critical of the original police investigation and noted shortcomings in the U.S. findings.
Brochu’s conclusion was that Gatti died a “violent death” but foul play is not believed to be the cause of death. The probable cause of death was listed as asphyxiation by neck constriction.
“Much of the debate surrounding the circumstances of the death revolved around the question of whether a third party was involved in Arturo Gatti’s death,” Brochu wrote. Read More
