miksteri 55 Report post Posted February 15, 2015 http://kuklaskorner.com/hockey/comments/steve-montador-found-dead-at-his-home Former NHL player Steven Montador was found dead inside his Mississauga home early Sunday morning, according to Peel Regional Police. Police said a female friend woke up at 2 a.m. to find Montador deceased. She contacted police and he was pronounced dead just after 2:30 a.m. at his residence. "Foul play is not suspected, pending the outcome of an autopsy," said Const. Fiona Thivierge, a Peel police spokesperson. At this time, Thivierge said, the incident is being treated as a sudden death investigation, not a criminal investigation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kliq 3,755 Report post Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) Really not fair to speculate so early. 55fan is right, there are lots of things that could happen at any age such as a brain aneurysm or even a heart attack.

Shaman 713 Report post Posted February 15, 2015 Not necessarily. Rare things such as aneurysms can happen at any age. Lana: What's your third biggest fear? Archer: Brain aneurysm. Lana: What's a brain aneurysm have to do with walking around in a swamp? Archer: Nothing, it can happen anywhere at anytime, that's what makes it so terrifying. 5 The Greek, jimmyemeryhunter, CrossCheck24 and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Either way it's sad Well find out soon enough what happened R.i.p It does come to mind after losing Boogaard and others recently. Aneurysms came to my mind first since one of the sweetest kids I ever babysat had one last month in her 30's. It wasn't fatal, but was close and now she has a hard, uphill battle remaining. 1 jimmyemeryhunter reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

puckloo39 5,686 Report post Posted February 15, 2015 I am so sorry to hear this, and yes, it could be any number of things - but at age 35, it's very very sad. Our NHL family of players is so small, it's hard to lose any of the guys. RIP. 2 Hockeymom1960 and 55fan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
derblaueClaus 1,668 Report post Posted February 16, 2015 Things like that ar always terrifying to hear, especially if your nearing that age. RiP Steve Montador, you at least made a dream of many kids come true and lived a live as an NHL-Player. That's such a hilarious show. It's the best. Except for House of Cards maybe.

MabusIncarnate 5,344 Report post Posted February 16, 2015 Do we know if this was a suicide? No, there is no information, everything is speculation. It could have been anything, it's unfortunate for him and his family to say the least. Thoughts and prayers are with the Montador family in this sad time. Another former NHLer taken too soon, at least we were able to embrace a part of his life and career as fans of the sport. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GMRwings1983 8,794 Report post Posted February 16, 2015 He had over 70 fights in his NHL career, so if it's suicide, expect to hear more arguments against removing fighting from the game. I know it's too early to speculate, but just a thought. We had several tough guys die a few years ago in a short span. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
