An unimaginable tragedy struck the Gaudreau Family overnight when a drunk driver struck and killed both Matthew and Johnny while they were riding their bicycles. Police have arrested and charged a 42-year-old local with vehicular homicide. News of the passings were confirmed this morning by the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Despite the confirmation coming this morning news leaked last night on X, when a journalist shared some details. The tweet was quickly deleted and replaced by a wish of thoughts and prayers for the Gaudreau Family. As it turns out the leaks may have come from a county medical examiner.
Puck Empire on Instagram shared the following information:
This revelation is a disgusting event in what has already been one of the most difficult weekends of a family's life. Our thoughts and prayers continue to go out to the Gaudreau Family.
