NHL legend, Claude Lemieux, died at the age of 60, cause of death listed
SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS) – NHL legend Claude Lemieux died at the age of 60 on Thursday, the Montreal Canadiens announced. He played 21 seasons in the league and won the Stanley Cup four times.
According to USA Today, Lemieux’s death was reported as an apparent suicide in Florida. The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office said a family member found the body shortly before 3:30 a.m. in the rear warehouse of the Andros Home furniture showroom, as reported by the Palm Beach Post.
Lemieux was just in Montreal this week. He was the torchbearer for Monday’s Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Final between his former Montreal Canadiens and the Carolina Hurricanes. The road team won 3-2 in overtime.
“The National Hockey League mourns the passing of Claude Lemieux, a four-time Stanley Cup champion and one of the greatest big-game players in hockey history,” NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said in a statement.
“Lemieux forged his postseason reputation and won the Cup for the first time as a rookie in 1986, when he scored 10 goals in the Playoffs for the Montreal Canadiens. He won the Conn Smythe Trophy as Playoffs MVP in 1995, scoring 13 goals in 20 postseason games with the New Jersey Devils. He also was an integral part of Cup-winning teams in Colorado, in 1996, and back with New Jersey in 2000.
“Overall, his teams reached the Stanley Cup Playoffs in 15 straight seasons; his 234 postseason games played rank sixth in NHL history; and his 80 career Playoff goals rank ninth. In recent years, as a player agent, he has represented some of the top stars in the NHL.
“We send our deepest condolences to Claude’s wife, Deborah, and his four children, Brendan, Claudia, Michael and Christopher.”
The four-time champion hoisted the Stanley Cup with three separate organizations. He won with Montreal in 1986, with the New Jersey Devils in 1995 and 2000, and with the Colorado Avalanche in 1996.

Maybe the second dirtiest player in history (I still have Bryan Marchment as the clear #1). Only reason I have sympathy is this sounds like a classic case of CTE.
