- BY PHIL CARDY

BOXING star Ricky Hatton was found hanged at his home, an inquest has heard.

His manager Paul Speak made the grim discovery, the court was told.

Former world champ Ricky, who was just 46, was found unresponsive in the house on the morning of September 14.

Yesterday's hearing, which took less than five minutes, was told he was last seen alive by family members two days earlier and had appeared well.

But he failed to attend an event the next day. Mr Speak arrived at Ricky's £1.7million (€2m) home on September 14 to take him to Manchester Airport for a flight, the court was told.
