New details emerge on Sean Higgins
New details have emerged concerning Sean Higgins who was responsible for the death of Johnny Gaudreau and Matthew Gaudreau.
Johnny and his brother Matthew were struck by a vehicle near their home in Salem County, New Jersey, on Thursday night. Unfortunately, both Johnny and Matthew passed away as a result of the accident.
According to new details obtained by FOX 29, Higgins is a field artillery officer assigned to the New Jersey Army National Guard, Joint Force Headquarters. He is a part-time traditional Drill Status Guardsman and was not on duty at the time of the incident.
Col Yvonne L. Mays, Acting Adjutant General of New Jersey, said they cannot comment on ongoing investigations, but gave the following statement: "We are profoundly saddened by this tragedy. Our hearts go out to everyone affected, and we share in the grief of the Gaudreau family."
Higgins also worked for a rehab facility called 'Gaudenzia'. The nonprofit identified him as an employee on Saturday, saying that he has been placed on leave following the deadly crash.
This comes as extremely shocking news for hockey fans still mourning the loss of the Gaudreau brothers. Higgins worked at a non-profit rehab center, and still made the rash decision to drive impaired, resulting in an unthinkable tragedy.
Higgins now awaits further court proceedings as the NHL and the world continue to remember the legacy of Johnny Gaudreau.
