Authorities reclassify 17-year-old Arturo Gatti Jr.'s death as a homicide, reversing an initial suicide ruling.

Sofia Gatti, daughter of boxing legend Arturo Gatti Sr., announced authorities are now investigating her 17-year-old brother Arturo Gatti Jr.’s death as a homicide, reversing an initial suicide ruling. The change, confirmed by official documentation, follows the discovery of his body in his apartment earlier in October. The family, supported by legal counsel, is pursuing forensic reviews and preserving remains across Mexico, Canada, and the U.S. to coordinate international efforts for justice. The case has drawn widespread attention due to the tragic similarity to her father’s 2009 death by suicide, a former champion known for his legendary fights with Micky Ward.
