Former Ottawa Senators’ goaltender Ray Emery has died.
The 35 year-old Cayuga, Ontario native was confirmed by authorities to be the man who tragically drowned while swimming in Hamilton, Ontario on Sunday morning.
CP24 first reported that a man visiting the Leander Boating Club decided to go for an early-morning swim with a group of friends, and that he did not re-emerge upon entry into the water. Toronto-based photographer Andrew Collins was the first to report that Emery was the victim, via Twitter.
Hamilton Police Service Inspector Marty Schulenberg said “They went out for a swim and unfortunately he did not emerge after diving in.
