In a shocking twist in the investigation into Ricky Hatton’s mysterious death, authorities have revealed that forensic teams discovered an external trigger device hidden just feet from the former boxing champion’s bedside.
According to exclusive information obtained by The Guardian Express, investigators now believe the device may have been manually or remotely activated in the moments before Hatton collapsed. The mechanism, described by sources as “highly specialized and uncommon in domestic settings,” is believed to have triggered a chain reaction that directly contributed to his fatal symptoms.
“This isn’t something you buy off the shelf,” said a senior investigator familiar with the findings. “It appears to have been built or modified by someone with technical expertise — and the way it was concealed suggests it was meant to go unnoticed.”
Police sources added that forensic residue and digital components from the device are currently being analyzed by a government laboratory. The initial results, one insider said, “left everyone speechless.”
“It’s clear now that Ricky Hatton’s death wasn’t spontaneous,” the source continued. “Whatever this device activated, it was deliberate — and someone knew exactly what they were doing.”
Authorities are said to be tracing recent visitors to Hatton’s home, as well as reviewing the boxer’s recent communications and purchases for clues about how the device ended up there.
The Hatton family has issued a brief statement through their attorney, calling the development “devastating but necessary to uncover the truth.”
The ongoing investigation, now upgraded to a full criminal inquiry, could soon lead to arrests as police close in on who had both the access and the motive to install the mysterious mechanism.
