Former boxing world champion\u00a0Ricky\u00a0Hatton was looking forward to the future and it was not clear he intended to take his own life, the inquest into his death heard on Friday.<\/p>\n
The 46-year-old was described as a doting father, in good spirits and despite past troubles with alcohol and drugs, had been the best \u201cin years\u201d, his family told Stockport Coroner\u2019s Court.<\/p>\n
Alison Mutch, senior coroner for South Manchester, told the court, attended by the boxer\u2019s father, son and ex-partner and mother of his daughters, that no notes had been found from\u00a0Hatton\u00a0and there was no information uncovered by police to suggest he was planning to take his own life.<\/p>\n
Concluding the inquest, she said: \u201cHe had made significant future plans and no notes were found indicating he intended to take his own life.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have listened very carefully to all the evidence. When I add everything together, I cannot be satisfied he intended to take his own life.<\/p>\n
\u201cTherefore, it is not possible in law for me to conclude suicide. I have concluded a narrative verdict.<\/p>\n
\u201cHis intention remains unclear as he was under the influence of alcohol and the neuropathological post-mortem found evidence of chronic traumatic encephalopathy and that\u2019s the conclusion I draw.\u201d<\/p>\n
