Arturo Gatti, Second Autopsy Points To a Hanging

[Drunken Cat]

What hell are you talking about? I read he had a head wound, dummy. If it was a suicide--why stab yourself in the back? It's legitimate question. I dont' care if he committed suicide or somebody killed him. I want some clarification.

There've been two media reports:

The first was that he was stabbed in the back of the head with a kitchen knife. The second was that he was pelted with rocks.

It should be a clear distinction, however basically nothing about this case has been clear.

Man the people here make me laugh.

One photo of her being released from Prison while she has a smile on her face and she's instantly a murderer.

It blows my mind.

It has nothing whatsoever to do with the photograph, and everything to do with the fact that she was both initially charged with murder and that their remain many contradictions in the case and questions regarding Gatti's death.

I'm choosing to believe the Brazilian and Canadian authorities. It was a suicide.

RIP.

The Canadian coroner did not yet conclude that it was a suicide.

Okay, then, thank you. Pelted with rocks or stabbed in the back. That's a big distinction to me. I wonder what really caused it.

This guy has an axe to grind, clearly. I think this is clear by my current posts alone.

Maybe, like a lot of people, during July, I thought:
a) the cops have arrested her - she's guilty.
b) the Will was changed 3 week earlier - how convenient.
c) she's been released from jail and looks too damn happy - my god!

Then, I looked at a lot of interviews, press clippings, stories from both sides - and it slowly because clear that it wasn't what it seemed.

The last month, I've been on her side because it's pretty clear now that Gatti wasn't murdered. For all their screaming and shouting, neither The Gatti's or any of his fans are able to come up with any proof whatsoever that he was murdered.

However, blinkered Gatti fans with that weird 'man-crush' that boxing fans tend to display for their heroes, will almost certainly, never believe it.

I am starting to believe that maybe Gatti's wife actually didn't murder him. But how did that wound on the back of his head end up where it was?

dat ***** wanted that money...rip gotti

I think as fans it's hard for us to believe this but 2 different Medical Examiner's Offices have gotten the same conclusion so like it or not we're gonna have to accept it eventually . People get drepressand drunk and do ****** **** all the time. Why was he any different?

Man I got so much Red K for saying I thought he killed himself and took the cowards way out. He was a warrior in the ring and a coward outside. Well it looks like I was right. I love the guy for what he stood for and never in my life would I think someone like Thunder Gatti would be coward enough to kill himself.

its likely Gatti killed himself. not what I want to hear either, but for some reason people are like that.
However, I think they should look as deep as possible. not go so far as to start getting innocents in trouble, but just to make sure there is absolutely no foul play here.

according to the reports there are traces of sedatives in his body. If he was so drugged up that normally the person would be out cold, then he couldnt have been awake to hang himself, could he?

this whole injury in the back of the head thing is what keeps confusing me. these guys cant tell the difference between a stab wound by a kitchen knife and thrown rocks?

and Im no medical expert, but is there any way of telling if the 'rock' injury in the back of his head were thrown or used as a club? I mean...if someone just smacked him in the right spot in the back of the head with a rock, wouldnt it look similiar to an injury caused by a thrown rock?

speaking of which, if people were throwing rocks at him, are there any other thrown rock injuries on his body? light bruises or anything? I have a hard time believing theres a pro rock sniper that can land exactly to the head.

maybe its just us paranoid boxing fans...but I dont care. I want every question to be answered before they put down the case. Its worth the effort if someone really did kill Gatti, even if it is a longshot.
