Ricky Hatton: Inquest Findings on Cause of Death

Key Facts

• Ricky Hatton, former two-weight world champion boxer, was found dead at his home in Hyde, Greater Manchester, on 14 September 2025.  

• The death is not being treated as suspicious by the authorities.  

• An inquest into his death opened at Stockport Coroner’s Court on 16 October 2025, with a full hearing scheduled for 20 March 2026.  

Provisional Cause of Death

• The inquest has provisionally ruled the cause of death as hanging.  

• It has also been heard that Hatton “took his own life”.  

Circumstances Leading Up to Death

• Hatton was last seen by family on 12 September, when he appeared “well.”  

• On 13 September, he missed a scheduled event.  

• On 14 September, his manager, Paul Speak, went to Hatton’s home to take him to Manchester Airport for a flight to Dubai (for a promotional event) and found him unresponsive.  

• His family and others say that despite Hatton’s past well-publicised struggles with mental health, addiction, and previous suicide attempts, he had recently expressed being in a better place and looking forward to future plans, including the comeback event.  

What Remains Unresolved / Next Steps

• The verdict from the full inquest (on 20 March 2026) will consider all medical, forensic and other evidence before confirming the final cause and ruling.  

• Additional detail about Hatton’s mental state leading up to his death, any contributing factors, and whether any preventative opportunities existed will likely be part of the full proceedings.

Reflections

The evidence presented so far indicates that Ricky Hatton tragically died by suicide, by hanging, and that the death was not considered suspicious. What makes the situation especially poignant is the contrast between his expressed hopes for the future and the severity of his internal struggles—elements that often feature in cases of mental health crises.

His case is bringing renewed attention to issues around mental health in sport, post-career support for athletes, and how even people who seem outwardly okay can be battling significant challenges.

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner, once a dominant force in European football, left behind a glittering career in Europe’s top leagues to join Al-Nassr .
