    You’d think that after several investigations including hotel camera footage that there might be a shred of evidence supporting that. Gatti was previously suicidal btw

    I read he tried being a cowboy and chased some guys with a revolver because he was them commit the crime. I don’t wish it on him but he gambled his life with that one - If I am remembering right.

    That would be Robert Quiroga I reckon.

    He fought a total classic with Kid Akeem that nearly ended Akeem’s life before retiring himself in only his mid 20’s a few years later. He ended up getting stabbed to death by some dirt bag bikie over an argument about the ownership of a ****ing Scarface poster of all things. Totally senseless.

    The blood stained clothes and rags found at the scene that were never tested?! Also the purse strap couldn’t have ended his life.

    I believe you’re referring to clothes and towels that he used to wipe up blood after having a drunken fist fight with some guy who took offense to him being abusive toward his wife in public.

    Reuben "Rat Man" Bell. He was in the hospital being treated for cancer when somebody entered the hospital and shot him.

    From what I remember the carer robbed him of money from his bank , around 25k , I think Cummings found out, there was a program on TV about it but not seen it yet,
