The inquiry into the unfortunate incident involving Adam Johnson within the Elite Ice Hockey League remains ongoing.

UK Police have reported the completion of a significant aspect of the investigation – the examination at the rink where the tragedy occurred.

However, it's crucial to note that the overall investigation is far from concluded. According to the authorities,

"Our officers have now left the scene, however due to the complex nature of this tragic and unprecedented incident, it is likely the wider investigation will take some time."




They continue to urge the public to refrain from speculation, particularly on social media, while their inquiries persist, assuring that updates will be provided when appropriate.

The incident, in which Johnson tragically suffered a neck injury from an opponent's skate, has been labeled a "freak accident" by his team and the league. Nevertheless, the police are diligently assessing whether this was indeed the case.

Despite the public statements from at least two of Johnson's teammates, who maintain that no intent was involved, and the incident was purely accidental, the police remain committed to scrutinizing any unconventional circumstances surrounding a fatality.
