An unnamed man has been charged on suspicion of manslaughter, related to the death of the Nottingham Panthers player in October.
A man was arrested Tuesday in England on charges of suspicion of manslaughter in connection with the death of professional hockey player Adam Johnson.
Johnson, who was 29 when he died, was fatally injured during a game between the Nottingham Panthers and Sheffield Steelers on October 28. Johnson received a cut to the neck from the blade of Steelers player Matt Petgrave in the 35th minute of the game. He collapsed and was taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
“Our investigation launched immediately following this tragedy and we have been carrying out extensive enquiries ever since to piece together the events which led to the loss of Adam in these unprecedented circumstances,” South Yorkshire Detective Chief Superintendent Becs Horsfall wrote in a statement.
