Confirmed: Johnny Gaudreau and brother Matt have passed away
Word seems to be circulating that Johnny was involved in a car accident and is seriously injured or worse? Hopefully this turns out to be false...

Edit: very sad to wake up to see that this has been c0nfirmed. RIP Johnny.

NHL player Johnny Gaudreau of the Columbus Blue Jackets was killed Thursday night when he was hit by a car while riding a bicycle in his home state of New Jersey. He was 31.
New Jersey State Police said Gaudreau was one of two cyclists struck and killed by a car in Salem County, N.J. Gaudreau's younger brother, Matthew, 29, was the other victim in the crash, police confirmed.
The Carneys Point, N.J., natives were in the area for their sister Katie's wedding scheduled for Friday in Philadelphia.
According to police, the Gaudreau brothers were cycling on a road when a man driving in the same direction attempted to pass two other vehicles and struck them from behind. They were pronounced dead at the scene.
Police said the driver, Sean M. Higgins, was suspected of being under the influence of alcohol and charged with two counts of death by auto and jailed at the Salem County Correctional Facility.

Twitter seems to be going wild. The original tweet, which I haven’t seen, was deleted by whoever posted it

Yea, I don't see this posted on any of the major news/sports outlets. Hopefully just a rumour.

I seriously hope the fact we’re seeing conflicting stories means it’s not true and is just some #######s on twitter being #######s on Twitter. Please be a hoax.
