LONDON (AP) — A man who was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter in the death of American ice hockey player Adam Johnson, whose neck was cut by a skate during a game, was released on bail Wednesday.
He was arrested on Tuesday, and released on bail on Wednesday pending further inquiries.
Petgrave skates toward Johnson and collides with another Panthers player.
Petgrave's left skate kicks up as he begins to fall and the blade hits Johnson in the neck.
It would be rare, but not unprecedented, for a hockey player to be charged.
