A hardworking, roundly admired Canadian who played hockey and could cover any sport, they say.

His wife discovered him 'unresponsive' at 4 AM and called 911

He had diabetes, seems to have been type 1, I have to think that did him in.

People with type 1 diabetes have traditionally lived shorter lives, with life expectancy having been quoted as being reduced by over 20 years
