on 4th July. Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender Matiss Kivlenieks has died after a "fireworks malfunction" at a Fourth of July party. An initial autopsy carried out on the 24-year-old on Monday found he died as a result of chest trauma caused by a fireworks blast. He had been in a hot tub at a house party in Novi, Michigan, at the time. Initially Michigan police said Kivenieks, a Latvia international, had died from a head injury suffered while getting out of a hot tub. "There appears to be some fireworks that accidentally went off and launched in the direction of Mr Kivlenieks and others who were seated in the hot tub," lieutenant Jason Meier said. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/ice-hockey/57725848RIP Couldn’t find a thread about this.

Damn, that's a sad story, the kid was only 24 years old.
That's gotta be a rough way to go, must have been a horrible scene.

In the prime of his life and living his dream of playing in the NHL. Terrible.

Reports are coming out that this happened at his goalie coach's house, former Stanley Cup winner Manny Legace.
Guessing that alcohol was involved too.
