A morgue assistant in New Jersey who inappropriately leaked information about the passing of the Gaudreau brothers has been identified and he's faced punishment.
The sports world was thrust into sudden and unbelievable mourning in late 2024 upon the passing of Johnny Gaudreau and his brother Matthew just weeks before the new season was set to begin.
Making their passings even more tragic was that they were both struck while cycling by an alleged intoxicated driver on the eve of their sister's wedding.
But now, a morgue assistant in New Jersey who inappropriately leaked information about the brothers tragic passing has been identified and terminated.
Connor McGlynn, the morgue assistant who leaked the Gaudreau Brothers' death and the notes with private detailed information before the news became public, had his termination upheld by the NJ Commission by a vote of 3-2. Meanwhile Sean Higgins, who turned down a 35 year plea deal is due back in court on April 14th. -annikkadevils
It's completely inappropriate behavior on the part of this now-ex morgue assistant, especially considering the effect it must have had on the grieving family and friends of the Gaudreau brothers.
Johnny Gaudreau Would Have Been On Team USA's Olympic Roster
Had it not been for the tragic passing of Gaudreau, he would not only have represented Team USA in this year's Olympics, but he would have also been on the 4 Nations Faceoff roster last February.
Upon his and Matthew's passing, the hockey world came forward with multiple tributes for the fallen brothers.
Perhaps one of the most touching tributes was, after their historic gold medal victory, Team USA players inviting the family of Gaudreau onto the ice in Milan while also clutching his USA sweater in celebration.
