The person who leaked the details of the Gaudreau brothers' accident revealed
We now know who first leaked Johnny Gaudreau and his brother's accident to the public.
Johnny Gaudreau and his brother Matthew Gaudreau passed away in a devastating tragedy on Thursday night. They were hit by a drunk driver during a bike ride, which was confirmed on Friday morning by the NHL and the Columbus Blue Jackets organization.
The impact he had on our organization and our sport was profound but pales in comparison to the indelible impression he made on everyone who knew him. Johnny embraced our community when he arrived two years ago, and Columbus welcomed him with open arms. We will miss him terribly and do everything that we can to support his family and each other through this tragedy."
However, the news was leaked during the night, and the reporter who released the news first was even fired from his job.

Medical professionals must respect the privacy of all their patients. This is completely unethical, and consequences are expected at this point.
