    Murdered by his gold digging wife for the life insurance money, as they were on the verge of divorce and she could see her meal ticket going south.

    She paid off the authorities to rule it as a suicide.

    There were bruises on his side where he had been kicked after they found him hanged.

    There's a massive thread on the lounge about it with some good posts.

    Yes, suicide. Man with history of head trauma and alcoholism gets drunk and violent, hitting someone with a bottle that night. Goes home, drinks six pack, and commits suicide.

    Nonsense. She would've stood to make plenty off of a divorce and child support. It was a recent marriage and I don't believe they were splitting up anyway.

    They were going through a separation dude.

    That is the exact point in which these kinds of murders happen. Your meal ticket going up in smoke and you need to cash in or protect the cash you have...

    1. She was a very small person to be lifting Gatti and hanging him.
    2. The hitmen were never caught on camera at the hotel nor was a financial transaction uncovered.
    3. The toxicology report wasn’t that crazy other than alcohol and a muscle relaxer, although withdrawal symptoms and psychosis leading to suicide could have been caused by the muscle relaxer and aided by alcohol.
    4. She stood to be in good financial shape if Gatti divorced her particularly due to the child.
    5. Three autopsies failed to prove homicide.
    6. Zero evidence that she paid off the police.
    7. Gatti was a volatile drunk and ex boxer. Suicide is a common theme for that demographic.

    The biggest surprise, to me, is that Gatti actually pulled it off rather failing to kill himself.

    A man with an iron will such as Gotti committing suicide? Not a chance.

    Also, wasn't Gotti found bruised and battered as if a struggle had ensued?

    He had been drunkenly fighting with people in the street earlier that night.

    I read that Gatti had 3 DUIs, was arrested for fighting a police officer, gave some other guy brain injuries, and had a series of domestic abuse incidents.

    Oh please. He was battered and bruised.
    And no she would have gotten child support but thats it.
    With him dying like that she got: life insurance which was 6 figures and more then likely alot of hid assets with her still legally still his wife.
