Ricky Hatton’s son vowed to keep the mental health conversation going in the wake of his father’s death.

The 46-year-old was found dead at his home in Hyde, with Greater Manchester Police stating they were not treating the death as suspicious. At the opening of his inquest on Thursday, his provisional cause of death was given as hanging.

His son Campbell Hatton said that hearing his father speak about mental health made him feel more able to.

“ I've seen him openly talk about it, so I know it's okay to do,” he told Good Morning Britain.

“It is just about passing that message on now.”
