In a startling new revelation, a maintenance worker responsible for servicing Ricky Hatton’s home security system has come forward with information that could drastically alter the course of the investigation into the boxing legend’s sudden death.
The worker, who requested anonymity for safety reasons, told detectives that he discovered unusual remote access activity on Hatton’s surveillance system on the very night he was found unresponsive at his Manchester residence.
“I checked the logs because something didn’t add up,” the technician explained in an interview with The Herald. “There was a remote login from a location that should have been impossible — someone accessed the system without authorization.”
According to sources close to the investigation, forensic cyber experts have since verified the access trail and traced it to a foreign IP address linked to a device outside the United Kingdom. Law enforcement officials reportedly know the exact location of the signal’s origin, but have declined to make it public pending further investigation.
A senior officer from Greater Manchester Police confirmed the development late Tuesday:
“Yes, digital forensic evidence shows a connection to the property’s internal security network. We are now determining whether this was intentional interference or an external breach.”
The revelation comes amid growing suspicions that Hatton’s death may not have been accidental. Family members, who have long raised concerns about irregularities in the timeline of events, were said to be “deeply shaken” after learning that someone could have been watching the house remotely in his final hours.
Investigators are now cross-referencing data from Hatton’s smart home system, mobile devices, and internet provider records, as evidence suggests the same connection may have also triggered a brief power fluctuation captured on CCTV earlier that night.
“This could finally explain why his cameras briefly went offline before the medical emergency,” a police insider revealed. “If that access was deliberate, we’re looking at a highly coordinated act.”
Authorities are preparing to issue a full digital forensics report in the coming days — a report that could expose who accessed the system, from where, and why the security logs were nearly deleted afterward.
As investigators close in on the digital trail, one thing has become clear: the night Ricky Hatton died, someone was watching.
