There was no collision. Russian investigators said Cherepanov suffered from chronic ischemia, a medical condition in which not enough blood gets to the heart or other organs.

JT, youre a sad excuse for a human being. If there was indeed a collision it was obvkously AN ACCIDENT. Try to think that one through before posting something so stupid and juvenile.

RE: Bill

Bill, try reading the article and not the image. These are way valid questions and there was absolutely a collision. No, I wouldn't say with what I know that Jagr is to blame, but as I read the article, it does not accuse Jagr, only asks the question based on an erie set of unusual, maybe coincidental events that happened in a region that is historically known for presenting an extremely liberal version of the truth.

Ok – saw the hit, and it was clearly accidental, but it was a pretty legit head blow no matter how you look at it.

Jagr must be crushed with guilt through all of this. One of the strangest deaths that I have seen in a while. Not sure if Jagr is to "blame," but people will, especially in the NY media. What is worse is the BS excuse the Russians came up with – the heart condition they said he had would have killed him the first time he EVER played hockey. It was probably a brain bleed from getting KTFO and then maybe the clot ran to his heart. It is a little more common than people know and creates a "floating aneurysm" or a stroke.

there actually was a collision on the ice – I think there is actually a short story on an ESPN feed on that. The same story links to a Russian sports site, they said he collapsed on the ice.

You should do a little research yourself before you throw libel around dude.

Okay, this article is obviously full of lies. First off, there IS no apparent cause of death. Second, there WAS NO collision on the ice, he did NOT collapse on the ice nor turn white. None of those details are available. This might be the most irresponsible, poorest excuse of journalism ever. You should be ashamed, and consider yourselves lucky if you don't get sued for libel once details come out and prove this article to be untrue.

Leave it to the Russian authorities to make this the weirdest on-ice death EVER. A 19 yr old with one of the rarest heart deaths known to man??? Uhhhhh ok. Thanks Jagr, you are a douche.
