Newspaper: Arturo Gatti may have been suicide
by Michael Marley
Did Arturo Gatti take his own life?
This may be the most shocking twist yet in the sudden death of former boxing champ Gatti.
A newspaper in Brazilian says that the fighter’s body was “suspended and hanged,” and cites that information from an autopsy as an indication that the 37 year old may have taken his own life.
The Jornal do Comercio newspaper reported in its Saturday edition that the autopsy performed on the former two-division champ shows that Gatti's body was "suspended and hanged, indicating he may have committed suicide."
Of course, police have hinted that a kitchen knife was also involved in the boxer's death in a carefully locked seaside condo in Pernmabuco. Police said Gatti had a knife wound in the back of the head or neck.
Gatti was found dead in the condo a week ago.
Through her attorney Celio Avelino, Rodriguez continues to maintain her innocence. Authorities have until July 22 to formally charge her. She is sitting in a women's prison in Recife at this time.

Paula Cysneiros, a spokeswoman for the medical examiners' office, would not confirm the newspaper's report.
Meanwhile, wake and funeral plans have been outlined for Gatti in his hometown of Montreal.
A visitation for Gatti is scheduled for Sunday at Maison Funeraire Magnus Poirier in his adopted hometown of Montreal, with a funeral on Monday at Notre Dame De La Defense.
Investigators have said Rodrigues was the only suspect and they were certain she killed Gatti in the apartment where they and their 10-month-old son arrived for a second honeymoon last week. The boy was unhurt and was in the care of Rodrigues' family.
"This is a pain that has become inexplicable and intolerable, this loss and this malicious accusation," Rodrigues wrote in the letter to the AP. "I'm innocent and I know that this will be proven in a few days."
