Steve Montador's death believed to be a suicide. He suffered from concussions and depression. Difficult financial situation too I'd heard.

Steve Montador dead at age 35
The only HW the Canucks need
Re: Steve Montador dead at age 35
RIP Montador
All the more reason for pro sports to put more money into concussion/depression research/help etc.Montador told CSNChicago.com in 2013 of the anxiety and depression that accompanies a concussion, saying he received a lot of help to work through his issues and believed he had take the appropriate steps in his recovery.
In March 2013, Montador reported feeling better and said: "Just every day is a brand new day and there's a lot of enjoyment. … I'm just filled with a lot of gratitude."
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

Terrible news. I'll be keen to hear some of the facts come out on this. If it is related to concussions and mental health, it's time we added more urgency to the effort to better support people who suffer from concussions.
Love the Sport. Love the Team.

Very sad indeed . Hard nosed and honest player who had a decent career despite his limited skill. I would be curious to hear if his depression reared it's ugly head as a young person or is it all a result of taking some nasty shots in the melon over the years.

Interesting that they had a moment of silence last night before the game for him.
Also Mirtle has back tracked from his suicide comments. He deleted the tweets and apologized.

Awful announcing is a really good follow on twitter as well.

If it turns out not to be a suicide the guy should be shot! Horrible to be tweeting that out.

Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.
I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.
