ATLANTA -- Atlanta Thrashers forward Dan Snyder died Sunday night, six days after he was involved in a horrific car crash with teammate Dany Heatley.
Snyder was 25.
Snyder died at Grady Hospital from massive brain injuries without ever regaining consciousness, the team said.
"We are deeply saddened by the tragic loss of Dan Snyder. Dan was a teammate and friend to all of us. We feel a tremendous amount of pain as an organization and extend our deepest sympathies to his family," the Thrashers said.
Police said Heatley was driving his Ferrari at about 80 mph on a narrow two-lane road last Monday night when he lost control, spun off the road and smashed into a brick and wrought iron fence.
The car split in half. The players were thrown into the road.
Heatley already was facing several charges, including a felony.
"The charges will be upgraded. It hasn't occurred yet," Sgt. John Quigley, an Atlanta Police Department spokesman said Sunday night. "I expect them to be upgraded in the near future."
He said investigators will meet with the District Attorney's office Monday morning.
"It would likely be vehicular homicide first degree," Quigley said.
OK kids...here is todays lesson...You drink..you drive...you kill.
It sucks that the team will lose out on two young and talented players because if stupid judgement.
Whatever Heatly gets is comming to him.
Reminds me of the tragedy when Cleavland lost its players from the boating accident. With Bob Ojeda.
