Annette Rocca ‘hurt’ by speculation into husband’s death

THE wife of Patrick Rocca, the multi-millionaire businessman found dead in a suicide shooting, said last night she was hurt by media speculation over her husband’s financial affairs.

Mr Rocca, the brother of former Miss Ireland Michelle Rocca, was discovered dead at his house with a single gunshot wound to the head on Monday.

In a statement issued through her solicitors, Annette Rocca said: “I am heartbroken and devastated at the loss of my beloved husband Patrick. On behalf of our two sons and the extended Rocca family, I would like to express my hurt at the way that some of the media have chosen to report on the death of my husband this week.
