There will no charges pursued stemming from the fireworks-related death of an NHL goalie at the Novi home of a former Red Wing during a July 4 celebration, the Oakland County Prosecutor's Office announced Wednesday.
The death of Columbus Blue Jackets goalie Matiss Kivlenieks has been ruled accidental, and the case is now closed.
The incident occurred Sunday, July 4, at the home of former Red Wings goalie Manny Legace, who was Kivlenieks' goalie coach with Columbus.
Kivlenieks was one of several people in a hot tub when a stage of fireworks, located about 20 feet away and down by the lake bordering Legace's back yard, tipped over.
