The inquest into the death of former boxer Ricky Hatton has been opened and adjourned.<\/p>\n
The 46-year-old, who won world titles at light-welterweight and welterweight, was found dead at his home in Hyde on 14 September.<\/p>\n
South Manchester Coroner’s Court, in Stockport, heard that Hatton was found by his manager Paul Speak.<\/p>\n
The court was told by Alison Catlow, of Greater Manchester Police, that Hatton was last seen by his family on 12 September and appeared well.<\/p>\n
The following day he did not attend an event as expected.<\/p>\n
On 14 September Speak, who was in court to represent the family, attended Hatton’s home to pick him up for a flight to Dubai.<\/p>\n
Hatton, who was known as The Hitman, was found unresponsive.<\/p>\n
Senior coroner Alison Mutch said they are awaiting the final cause of death, but it was indicated as hanging.<\/p>\n
No family were in attendance.<\/p>\n
