RIO DE JANEIRO // The former world champion Arturo Gatti committed suicide and was not murdered as initially suspected, a Brazilian police spokesman said on Thursday.
The 37-year-old Canadian was found dead in a holiday flat in north-eastern Brazil earlier this month and his wife Amanda Rodrigues, who was primarily charged with his murder, has now been released.
"The police inquiry concluded that he committed suicide using the strap of a rucksack on a staircase in the early hours of the morning," a police spokesman from Pernambuco state said.
Italian-born Gatti was found dead on July 11 in the flat the couple had rented in the seaside resort of Porto de Galinhas.
Rodrigues, 23, had been held in the city of Recife after Gatti died while the couple were on holiday in her native Brazil with their one-year-old son.
Nicknamed "Thunder", Gatti was IBF super featherweight champion in 1995 and WBC super-lightweight champion in 2004. He retired in 2007 with a record of 40 wins and nine losses.
