London Knights forward Abakar Kazbekov has died after he fell from a downtown London apartment building on Saturday morning.
London Police Service officers were dispatched at 8:20 a.m. after they were alerted to Kazbekov’s body on a sidewalk at the intersection of Dufferin Avenue and Talbot Street. He was already deceased when the police arrived at the scene. The Major Crime Section has announced that an investigation is still ongoing, but does not suspect foul play.
So far, four Ontario Hockey League games that were scheduled to take place Saturday have been postponed, including the Knights’ matchup with the Flint Firebirds.
