Details emerge on who leaked Johnny Gaudreau's death report online
Massive details have emerged on how Johnny Gaudreau's death report was leaked online on Thursday night.
A devastating tragedy occurred on Thursday night when Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau were hit by a drunk driver while cycling.
The news was leaked that same night, even though the Columbus Blue Jackets and the NHL didn't confirm it until Friday morning:
"Johnny played the game with great joy which was felt by everyone that saw him on the ice. He brought a genuine love for hockey with him everywhere he played, from Boston College to the Calgary Flames to Team USA to the Blue Jackets. He thrilled fans in a way only Johnny Hockey could. The impact he had on our organization and our sport was profound but pales in comparison to the indelible impression he made on everyone who knew him. Johnny embraced our community when he arrived two years ago, and Columbus welcomed him with open arms. We will miss him terribly and do everything that we can to support his family and each other through this tragedy."
The first report to emerge about this received significant backlash, and the writer was even fired from his job:
However, the search for the initial leak continued, and it didn't take long for people to discover that an employee of the medical examiner's office, Connor McGlynn, was the one who leaked the original death report in a group chat:
"Update: Johnny & Matthew Gaudreau's death report was leaked by an employee of the medical examiner's office in their friend's group chat last night. The leak included their addresses, and the employee has since deleted all his social media."
Such unprofessional and unethical behavior is widely condemned in the medical field. We'll keep you updated on any further consequences that McGlynn may face.
