Matthew Petgrave: Hockey player crowdfunding for legal fees following death of fellow athlete Adam Johnson
CNNCNN — Canadian hockey player Matthew Petgrave has begun crowdfunding to help cover his legal fees in connection with the death of fellow hockey player Adam Johnson. Petgrave identifies himself on CrowdJustice as being “involved in tragic accident” and says he is “seeking help to cover some of my legal costs whilst I am subject to Police bail, as well as additional costs if the matter proceeds to criminal court.” CrowdJustice has confirmed to CNN that the page does belong to Petgrave. “This is especially challenging because my UK Visa has expired, preventing me from working as a professional ice hockey player while I continue to need legal assistance,” he adds. “Our investigation launched immediately following this tragedy and we have been carrying out extensive enquiries ever since to piece together the events which led to the loss of Adam in these unprecedented circumstances,” detective chief superintendent Becs Horsfall said in a police statement at the time.
