Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender Matiss Kivlenieks died Sunday night of chest trauma not a head injury from a fall caused by a fireworks mortar blast. He was 24.
The Oakland County Medical Examiner’s office reported preliminary results Monday after an autopsy. Police in Novi, Mich., now say the mortar-style device began to tilt and fire at a group of people at a Fourth of July party. Kivlenieks was in a hot tub and among those trying to exit the tub to get out of the way, police Lt. Jason Meier said. Investigators are calling his death accidental.
