The ice hockey player tragically lost his life after his neck was cut in a collision with the blade on another player's boot.
The tragic death of ice hockey star Adam Johnson during a game in England has raised questions over whether the other player involved could face criminal charges.Johnson, 29, a former NHL forward for the Pittsburgh Penguins, succumbed to injuries after a 'freak' incident in which his neck was cut by another player's skate during a game with his team, Nottingham Panthers, against the Sheffield Steelers on Saturday.
'If it was really a 'freak accident,' neither of those tests would be met; and the CPS can only prosecute where there is a realistic chance of conviction,' she said.Lacey's colleague at the LSE, Jeremy Horder, hasn't seen the incident, but explained the parameters needed to go ahead with a charge for manslaughter.
