Oh wow, when I first read it I thought it was saying the father of Jimmy Hayea had passed. It wasn't until I looked again that I realized. That is terrible. Condolences to the Hayes family.

Jimmy Hayes, former Bruin and Boston College hockey champion, dies at 31 - The Boston Globe



Jimmy Hayes, a native of Dorchester who won an NCAA hockey championship at Boston College and played two of his seven NHL seasons with the Bruins, died unexpectedly Monday morning. He was 31.
Law enforcement and first responders went to Hayes’s Milton home, where he was pronounced dead, a law enforcement official said. His death is not considered suspicious. The cause of death was not immediately available.
Hayes, a 6-foot-5-inch, 215-pound right winger, played 334 games in the NHL for four teams, including the Bruins from 2015-17. He scored a total of 54 goals and 109 points for the Chicago Blackhawks, Florida Panthers, Bruins, and New Jersey Devils. He had 15 goals and 33 points in 133 games for Boston.

Globe story reports that first responders were sent to his home. So I would assume that indicates some sort of sudden medical crisis.
