We're still in shock over the tragic loss of Columbus Blue Jackets star Johnny Gaudreau and his brother, Matthew Gaudreau.

Sean Higgins, the man who was reportedly drunk when he crashed into Johnny and Matthew's vehicle, has a previous history of Driving While Intoxicated (DWI). He was arrested for it years ago but walked free because the officer involved didn't show up in court.
His choices cost two people their lives and impacted many around the world.
Higgins, 43, is a married father of two young daughters, and is someone with a USA military background. He was employed at Gaudenzia Inc., a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center.
It's deeply troubling that someone with a history of impaired driving-and apparent ongoing issues with alcohol-was working at an organization meant to help others struggling with addiction.
You would picture him to embody discipline and responsibility. But his actions have ended lives and left a permanent mark on many people worldwide.
After the news broke, Gaudenzia Inc. issued a statement placing Higgins on leave. Given his position and the nature of his past, there is a growing demand for more significant repercussions.
Many believe that, beyond just losing his job, the man in question should face significant legal consequences for his reckless actions.
As a community, we all want to see justice served. This tragedy has hit us hard, and we're coming together to support each other in this unimaginably difficult time.
