COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Trevor Ettinger, a forward in the Columbus Blue Jackets' organization, was found dead over the weekend in Nova Scotia.
Ettinger, 23, died on Saturday, the Syracuse Crunch, Columbus' AHL affiliate, announced Monday on its Web site.
The team didn't add any details about Ettinger's death, and Doug MacLean, Columbus' coach and general manager, said he wasn't sure how Ettinger died.
The Halifax Chronicle-Herald reported that Ettinger was found dead at his mother's house in Upper Kennetcook, Nova Scotia. Police told the newspaper there was no foul play and they will not pursue the case further.
"Trevor was a tremendous young man who was very well-liked and respected by those around him," Blue Jackets assistant general manager Jim Clark said on the Crunch's Web site. "Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends and teammates during this most difficult time."
Ettinger, a 6-foot-5, 240-pound left wing, split the past two seasons with Syracuse and Dayton of the East Coast Hockey League.

This is really a shame. I'm from Nova Scotia and I know some people who live near him and the rumour is he shot himself in his bathroom.
RIP Trevor
