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.
