Novi police are investigating the death of Columbus Blue Jackets goalie Matiss Kivlenieks, who suffered a head injury at a house in Metro Detroit on Sunday night.
Kivlenieks was 24.
Novi Police Lt. Jason Meier said multiple people were in a hot tub when there was, "from what we can tell," a fireworks incident. In attempting to get out of the hot tub, Kivlenieks slipped and hit his head on concrete, Meier said.
Police received the call shortly after 10 p.m. Sunday, Kivlenieks was transported to a hospital and was pronounced dead. An autopsy was scheduled for Monday, and the investigation remains open, Meier said.
