The inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the tragic passing of boxing icon Ricky Hatton is scheduled for today. Hatton was discovered at his £1.7 million residence in Hyde, Greater Manchester on September 14 last year at the age of 46. His long-time manager and friend, Paul Speak, found him unresponsive.
Initial reports revealed that Hatton was last seen alive by family members on September 12 and seemed to be in good health. However, he missed an event the following day, and on September 14, Speak found him unresponsive at home. A post-mortem examination indicated a provisional cause of death as ‘hanging.’ Coroner Alison Mutch extended her sympathies to the family.
The hearing is set to occur at Manchester South coroners court in Stockport. Hatton’s son Campbell has openly discussed his father’s mental health struggles, emphasizing the outpouring of support witnessed during Ricky’s funeral procession in Manchester.
Speak, reflecting on the discovery of Hatton’s body, expressed his belief that Ricky did not intend to take his own life, citing various positive plans and engagements Hatton had arranged before his passing.
Hatton, a former world champion, had planned a holiday and a boxing comeback, showcasing positive spirits and engagement with fans in the days leading up to his death. His family described him as more than a champion, highlighting his role as a loving family member and friend to many.
