Furthermore, Gatti Death came as shock to many as he was only 37 years old and it came with a lot of mystery and confusion with his wife first being arrested for homicide and then released after an autopsy done in Brazil ruled his death was suicide, however there was a lot of claims by friends, family that Gatti would never commit suicide and that the wife of Gatti was guilty of murder as her motive was Gatti's fortune, which Rodrigues inherited since she was able to coerce Gatti to void their prenup agreement three weeks prior to his death.Â
