Comments Thread For: Ward Will Never Believe Arturo Gatti Committed Suicide

[miamike]

I thought both Arguello's and Gatti's suicides were questionable.

Brazilian law enforcement is known to be kurupt, loved to watch the dude fight win or lose. Couldn't see him doing this to himself but you never know, if he didn't do it KARMA IS A MOFO and the guilty will pay.

Cosmic Law? dude, it's ok to say that GOD will handle justice for Amanda. Doesn't take away any "coolness" from it's intended statement / point being made.

Dont know what happened. But his own brother did admit on one of those crime shows I think it was on the Investigation Discovery channel, that Gatti was suicidal.

Edit

It was on CBS.

Instead, the evidence shows that Arturo Gatti had been in an emotional downward spiral for months. Years of brutal matches had left him in constant pain. He was taking medication and drinking excessively and often got into fights. In one altercation in Florida, Gatti hit a man so hard, he allegedly left him with serious brain injuries. Even Gatti's own brother, Joe, believes that Arturo, at such a low point emotionally, finally did what he had threatened to do in the past and killed himself.

there is a lot you can't even begin to understand in regards to the CBS 48 hours documentary. When CBS filmed that, Joe Gatti said what he said becasue of other motives that i cannot mention here. Joe Gatti has realized that his brother was murdered and he is regretful of what he said to CBS. CBS's journalist, Erin M. biased the story against Arturo due to media politics, she did not do her homework when it came to this story, people she failed to interview. she sensationalized the story the way she saw it ...due to her alterior agenda. yes as we allll know, he was not an angel, however there are to many surrounding circumstances that point to Amanda having insight and involvement to his death
now a quick note about the florida altercation, did you know why he hit the guy? the guy he hit was mocking a mentally challenged person and Arturo defended him, after he found out who Arturo was, he decided to do what people of low moral do, sue. people like him are what keeps firms such as "who can i sue?.com" profitable.

Maybe his particular beliefs don't include an omnipresent, omniscient being. Some people have a hard time with such constructs.

People are just using the ridiculously ****** logic that someone so strong and resilient in the ring couldn't possibly commit suicide. But anyone can commit suicide, you don't have to be a weak person.

exactly. gatti's own brother, another boxer, thinks he killed himself.

lots of people with brain damage and alcohol abuse kill themselves. the human brain is not exactly designed to get hit in the head repeatedly like boxers do. especially one like gatti who took a frightening amount of punishment. you have brain trauma and substance abuse, your mind's not gonna be in the clearest place.

gatti showing lots of heart inside the ring means NOTHING when it comes to this question of how he died.

his ex-wife, however, seems shady. maybe she was behind it. a purse strap seems a strange way to kill yourself.

Either way would not surprise me, but some people just don't want to believe it's possible that he could have killed himself so they say dumb things like "oh he was so tough in the ring it means he could not have killed himself".

Alexis Arguello almost killed himself in the 80s in front of his 6 year old son.

Im gonna red k you for the rest of your short stay here on BS.

Im gonna red k you for the rest of your short stay here on BS.

Thank you. I love Red K.

But please tell me, why does arturo's own brother believe he committed suicide?

Does brain trauma not take a horrible effect on one's mental state?

Is it unreasonable to think that gatti had brain damage from his boxing career? If you think it is unreasonable, have you seen his fights with rodriguez, ruelas, de la fishnet, angel, floyd, ward, robinson, baldomir, and gomez?

Is it not well known that alcohol abuse plays a part in depression and suicide?

Does Amanda not seem shady, further complicating things?

Does a purse strap seem a rather odd way to committ suicide?

Do all these factors not make it rather murky to any objective, semi-intelligent person?

Thanks for your answers ahead of time.

I don't know much about the detail of the case but speculating loosely it seems plausible he was hit on the head while sleeping and then choked to death. Purse strap seems like something a woman would use. He signed a new will three weeks before death. Gatti beat her too on the night I think.

But, seeing her interviewed, she's not reluctant to talk about any of it. Listening to her it doesn't feel like she's hiding anything (unlike say the careful speech, and darting eyes of Amanda Knox). If Gatti's wife did it, she has a really brass neck and is a really convincing storyteller.

She's speaks in this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWZJqXTmx2c

Dude why would he commit suicide by hanging himself with a purse strap and stabbing himself in the back of the head with a knife? The guy was too drunk to even think, and that ***** was in the home and said she was there for a few hours and walked over his body while he lied down face first think he was asleep so she didn't want to wake him..

Third world countries are corrupt. The first reports were murder, this chick got big money too from Gatti.

I dont want to believe it either but the authorities did arrest the chick so I don't think they were trying to do her any favors. Plus the canadian government couldn't rule out suicide. Private investigators found evidence but isn't that kind of what they were paid to do?
