the essentials Konstantin Koltsov, Belarusian former professional ice hockey player, was found dead on Monday March 19 in Miami. He was only 42 years old and apparently chose to end his life according to the first elements of the investigation.
Former Belarusian professional hockey player Konstantin Koltsov, companion of tennis champion Aryna Sabalenka, died “probably by suicide”, police in Miami-Dade County, Florida, announced on Tuesday March 19.
