Boxer's death ruled suicide

Brazilian police say Arturo Gatti's wife is no longer a suspect in the former champion's death. » Full Story on Y! Featured

Gatti probably punched himself silly. The guy missed the action.

Another one bites the dust (likely on steroids) When will these people learn that steroids will kill them EVENTUALLY. Why they think it's worth it is beyond me.

It's harder these days to find good sportsman like Gatti,they come and they go,leaving indelible marks on the people who really love them,like Gatti himself who did'nt seem to really know it until someone told him.Best wishes to his family.

One of the best fighters I have ever seen. In his carrer Gatti showed what it meant to have heart in the ring. He will always be remembered for his fights against Ward and he should but he should be remembered for the fact that he never gave up.

Did he have a rope around his neck and his testicles? Was he found by a maid? Did he have a troubled life. Inquiring minds want to know.

I don't think I've ever seen a fighter take as much accumulated punishment as that man did. And he never gave up, ever. He was a Fighter with every ounce of his being. I've really missed seeing him in the ring.
R.I.P.-- You've earned it.

It does not sound good for his wife. Very suspicsious. They were not getting along and were fighting alot and were about to seperate. Very strange how she and their son is okay but he is dead. This trip was to try to work on thier marriage like second honeymood so to speak. I think they need to focus on the wife and have her as a "person of interest". God Bless your soul Gatti.

That is so sad. I didn't know who he was but when I read the story I just couldn't believe it. He is so young only 37 yrs old and he didn't deserve to die. I feel so bad for his family but he will always be remembered. RIP Gatti.

Hello everyone. Just wanted to let you know that on ESPN tonight at 6PM eastern time, they are showing all of Gatti's greatest fights as a tribute to him.
I feel like I have lost one of my own brothers. Rest in Peace Arturo, you will be missed by many, but never forgotten.

My god - that little Brazilian whore of a wife killed this man - Gatti was an incredible fighter...This is an outrage - glad the Brazilian police is considering her a suspect. This is what happens to countries who try to mimick the USA in drama, sports etc...Some girl is gonna kill you for your money.

Another "putana" brings down a great Athlete. One can't go to sleep or be drunk in one's own crib, without having to worry about the Wife/girlfriend. She did it in similar fashion to McNair's ho I'm sure, waiting till he was passed out or sleeping. At least McNair's ho had the common decency to kill herself afterwards.

I can see it now... he is upset because she is scantly dressed and always flirting, he gets drunk, they go to the room, he finally had enough and was going to divorce her threatening he'd give her nothing for her belligerence, she hits him from the back with an object, he is mostly unconscious and she uses her purse to extract her last anger on him.

I grew up around hispanic woman... the ones that have tempers... are nuts! They throw things, punch things, break things, slam doors!, yell and jump and flail... sure yes, the sex is very! hot... but NO THANKS!
