Jockey, 19, found hanged at car wash as pals pay tribute to 'cracking lad'

An opening inquest was told today that a garage employee arriving for work at the petrol station found Michael's body in the car wash.

The teenager had completed his last race on a horse named Moonlighting in November, finishing seventh at Southwell, having ridden 26 times on the Flat since gaining his licence in 2019. Taking to social media, trainer Denis Coakley, for whom Pitt rode as an apprentice, said: "We are all absolutely devastated by the news of the sudden and tragic death of Michael Pitt. Not only was Michael a lifelong close family friend but he also became our first ever apprentice jockey.

Sorry, it sounds as though it requires a full police investigation into the possibility that his death was suspicious.

Oh man so young
