The former NHL player died after a skate blade cut his neck during a game, leading to a rare manslaughter investigation in sports.

Adam Johnson, a former NHL player, died after his neck was cut by a skate during a Challenge Cup match between Nottingham Panthers and Sheffield Steelers on October 28.
A man, whose identity has not been disclosed, was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter in relation to Johnson's death and has been released on bail.
The incident involving Johnson and Sheffield Steelers player Matt Petgrave was described as a 'freak accident' by the Nottingham Panthers.
