The Todd Ewen story takes a dark turn

Former St. Louis Blues tough guy Todd Ewen took his own life this weekend.

Update from an earlier story-

Via Yahoo Sports' Puck Daddy, former St. Louis Blues enforcer Todd Ewen took his own life this weekend at the age of 49. When Ewen's death was first announced, the details weren't made available. It was a sad day to hear about someone who had been so involved with the community of hockey gone so suddenly. Now that the details are out, the story has taken a much darker turn.

Ewen, a 230 pound winger known more for what he could with his fists more than his stick, broke in with the Blues in the 1986-87 season.
