The source of the leak about Johnny Gaudreau and his brother's accident has been identified.
On Thursday night, Johnny Gaudreau and his brother Matthew tragically passed away after being struck by a drunk driver during a bike ride. The NHL and the Columbus Blue Jackets confirmed the heartbreaking news on Friday morning.
The Blue Jackets shared their sorrow in a statement:
"Johnny played the game with great joy which was felt by everyone that saw him on the ice. He brought a genuine love for hockey with him everywhere he played, from Boston College to the Calgary Flames to Team USA to the Blue Jackets. He thrilled fans in a way only Johnny Hockey could.
The impact he had on our organization and our sport was profound but pales in comparison to the indelible impression he made on everyone who knew him. Johnny embraced our community when he arrived two years ago, and Columbus welcomed him with open arms. We will miss him terribly and do everything that we can to support his family and each other through this tragedy."

However, news of the accident was leaked overnight, leading to the firing of the reporter who first shared the information.
Initially, it was unclear how the details were leaked, but a new development has revealed that Connor McGlynn, an employee of the medical examiner's office, leaked the death report in a group chat with friends.
Medical professionals are expected to uphold patient privacy, and this breach is both unethical and likely to result in serious consequences.
"Update: Johnny & Matthew Gaudreau's death report was leaked by an employee of the medical examiner's office in their friend's group chat last night. The leak included their addresses, and the employee has since deleted all his social media."
