Ricky Bibey Ex Reveals 'Scary' Fight Before the Rugby Star Died in Hotel Room

Assistant Coroner Lisa Judge recorded an open verdict on Monday regarding former rugby league star Ricky Bibey, who died of "neck compression" at a Florence hotel on July 16, 2022.
Partner Jennie Platt told the inquest she suffered "life-changing" injuries after Bibey beat her in their hotel room, stating she "fought back" during a violent struggle before losing consciousness.
Bibey, a former Wigan Warriors player, had battled mental health difficulties and substance dependency for years, receiving residential treatment at Sporting Chance and Acquiesce clinics.
Judge accepted Platt was "subjected to serious violence by Rickey Bibey" and acted to "defend herself," though evidence did not establish whether Bibey intended to end his own life.
