Another sad day in the entertainment world.  Another death, Mr Aturo Gatti was strangled to death as he sleptr, allegedly by his 23 year old wife in a hotel in Brazil.  He has a purse strap around his neck and an injury to his head.  His wife said she woke up around 6 am on Saturday July 11th, 2009 and found her husband dead.  She claims she wasn’t the killer and is too fragile to kill a boxer.  Investigations are saying he was drugged or hit on the head with a blunt object to keep from fighting back.  Apparently on Friday the two had a fight in which Gatti threw his wife, Amanda Rodriguez to the ground siting motive for the murder.  Gatti had a great boxing career and retired in 2007 with a 40-9 record with 31 knockouts.  His trilogy with Micky Ward was a classic that HBO is planning to air again.  Condolences to the Gatti family, he will be missed and always remembered.
