It has been two years since former hockey star Adam Johnson died. The man who was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter has officially been re-bailed until January 2025.
At the time, Johnson was playing for the Nottingham Panthers. He suffered a fatal neck injury from a skate after colliding with Sheffield Steelers star Matt Petgrave in October 2023.
He was quickly transported to the hospital in Sheffield but was pronounced dead. The examination confirmed that it was the neck injury that killed him.
Inspector Benjamin Wood said via BBC:
"We have been working meticulously to fully understand the unprecedented circumstances in which Adam sadly lost his life," Wood said on Monday. "This complex investigation into Adam's death remains ongoing and we are continuing to work closely with the Crown Prosecution Service. Our thoughts remain wholeheartedly with Adam's family at this time."
