The U.K. Police recently released a statement that they had officers on the scene conducting a formal investigation into the death of Adam Johnson. Now, they have provided an update, stating that they have left the scene.
The important update also sends a direct message to those who are speculating online. After the incident, many conspiracists and outright racists took to social media to attack Matt Petgrave, the other player involved in the accident. Hopefully, the police investigation will put that to rest.
The accident has brought some urgency to decision-making regarding neckguards in the NHL. Now, executives are discussing whether or not additional protective equipment that would protect the neck and wrists is warranted. Some NHL coaches are even calling for the change themselves, and some players have taken it on their own to protect themselves.
