ESPN reports that prosecutors will reopen the investigation into the death of Rangers draft pick Alexei Cherepanov, who collapsed during a Continental Hockey League game last year in Russia..."The federal prosecutor's Investigative Committee ruled last month that team doctors were not to blame for Cherepanov's death and would face no criminal charges. Investigators said doctors with Siberian team Avangard Omsk had no reason to suspect the 19-year-old suffered from a chronic heart problem and therefore did not prescribe the medicine he was taking.
But the committee on Monday reopened the case and ordered that new medical tests be carried out in a federal center for forensic medicine."
Beyond the Blueshirts adds that the investigation has been reopened due to the Investigative Committee of the Office of the Public Prosecutor of the Russian Federation overturning last month’s decision that the death of Cherepanov was an accident.
...you really hate to see something as tragic as this linger on. Especially for the Cherepanov family.
