Matt Petgrave, a hockey player, is raising funds to cover his legal costs following a fatal on-ice collision that resulted in the death of Adam Johnson. Petgrave's skate cut Johnson's neck during a game in Sheffield, England, over a year ago. While Petgrave maintains the incident was a 'tragic accident', a man is under investigation for manslaughter.
Hockey player Matt Petgrave has called the death of Adam Johnson “a tragic accident” in a public appeal for donations to his legal costs amid a police investigation.
A man, whose name has not been released by police, remains under investigation after being arrested on suspicion of manslaughter. South Yorkshire Police have re-bailed the man several times, most recently in early November. No criminal charges have been filed. “I am seeking help to cover some of my legal costs whilst I am subject to police bail, as well as additional costs if the matter proceeds to criminal court. Any remaining funds will be donated to initiatives that promote safety in hockey, via a CrowdJustice campaign in-line with their unused funds policy.”
