RIP indeed. :'(

Seriously hope it wasn't something malicious like murder or something related to drugs etc.

This is going to be hard enough on his family as it is.

An announcement on CBC after the game tonight - ruled an accidental death due to a mix of alcohol and a prescription painkiller (oxycodone).
