    Bloodstains around the body isn't something that happens when someone kills them self, eh Sherlock? Wow.

    Listen. Nobody knows how he died yet. If you can't see why it is bad taste to arrive on the forum and start pointing out to people that he hit his wife and probably had it coming at this stage i'll tell you - it's bad taste, leave it alone for 48hours.

    You know nothing about life,Russell.
    Please keep your "educated" guesses to yourself.

    Very sad news. Not a GREAT fighter, but a great fighter to watch nonetheless. Much respect to Gatti for his toughness, and much sadness at his passing, RIP Artuto

    I agree 100%

    Pat Lynch (Gatti's Manager) and his brother John have been running boxing Shows in New Jersey under the "Pound for Pound Promotions," and I am their Ring Announcer. I knew Arturo very well as we honored him as our "Boxer of the Year' 6 times. I was also honored by COMBATT with him several years ago. It's been a bad day for the Lynch's and their promotion, as another boxer by the name of Bobby Rooney, lost his brother Sean this morning as well, he was 38 years old. Also, last summer, another one of their boxers, Ronny Vargas, was also killed.

    Can't believe it. Half-brained theories and such aside, RIP sir. Great warrior if not a great fighter. 37 is NO age.

    Citing something every bit of media involving his death says equals my educated guess. :lol:

    "Foul play is suspected" a half dozen times over.

    Shut the **** up with your **** ant e-tears.

    I find it funny how I'm some sort of demon spawn because I've repeated what the media of HIS PLACE OF BIRTH has reported.

    WTF man, no-one is pissed because you wrote "foul play is suspected". Are you kidding?

    Hi,Russell,I guess I may have touched a nerve. :D

    So are you categorically stating that, cricket coach Bob Woolmer was murdered ?
    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...r-did-die-violent-struggle-inquest-hears.html
    They found blood in him room..... :think

    There are many possibilities including suicide.
    To be fair Gatti could have been murdered for all that.

    Could Gatti have been an alcoholic? He may have been vomitting blood.

    Have some respect, the lot of you. Regardless of whether you disagree with someones comments, it's hardly the right time to start getting involved in a petty slanging match. Completely tasteless. Let it go.
