Mirtle also retweeted this from a Angela Rypien (assuming its Rick's wife or sister):

Please keep my family and I in your prayers on this very difficult day today!

She followed it with this tweet:

I will never forget today and what sadness and hurt it has brought upon my family!

The rumour with Canucks fans then was that he attempted suicide. I didn't put much stock in it at the time, but I'm not so sure now...

This is a big tragedy if it turns out to be true.
