A Michigan medical examiner says autopsy results have shown that Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender Matiss Kivlenieks died of chest trauma after a mortar-style firework started to fire toward Kivlenieks and several others on July 4. Novi, Michigan, police had initially told The Associated Press that Kivlenieks was fleeing a hot tub with others after the fireworks malfunction and slipped and hit his head on concrete. He was 24.

Surely the hot tub would have been the safest place to be...?

Apparently the charge hit him in the chest, so maybe he should have held his breath and dove...

I didn't see anything, did anyone notice a memorial or mention at the Stanley Cup Finals opening/pre-game?
