Mystery Surrounds the Death of Hockey Champion Konstantin Koltsov in Miami

Mystery surrounds the death of Konstantin Koltsov, the former ice hockey champion found dead last night in a Miami hotel. According to initial reconstructions, the 42-year-old is believed to have committed suicide by jumping from a balcony of the St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort. His girlfriend and tennis star Aryna Sabalenka, despite the severe loss, has confirmed her participation in the Miami Open next Friday. Konstantin Koltsov, the former hockey champion and boyfriend of Aryna Sabalenka (world no. 2 in tennis), died. Suicide is among the hypotheses of Konstantin Koltsov's death. His death, considered 'not suspicious' by law enforcement, was detailed in a press release: 'According to what was reported by investigators on Monday, March 18, 2024, approximately at 12:39 in the morning, police and firefighters of Bal Harbour were called to the St. Regis Bal Habrour Resort at 9703 Collins Avenue for a man who had thrown himself from the balcony of his room. The homicide section of the Miami-Dade Police Department took charge of the investigation of Mr. Konstantin Koltsov's apparent suicide, born on March 17, 1981. The death is not considered suspicious.' Other hypotheses that emerged in the morning, such as an accident or a sudden thrombosis that might have struck the 42-year-old, were immediately excluded by the investigators. These possibilities were not pursued by the Miami-Dade police, who are continuing to investigate Konstantin Koltsov's disappearance. At the time of death, his girlfriend and tennis star Aryna Sabalenka decided to take part in the Miami 1000 tournament, without, however, engaging in any relationship with the media. Therefore, no statements were made during the event and in press conferences, both before and after the match. The athlete will take to the court on Friday, March 22. This fact has caused much discussion on social media. Indeed, many criticisms were directed at the world's number 2 ATP tennis player, considered by many to be 'cold' and overall insensitive. Overwhelmed by a real wave of hate, Aryna Sabalenka, however, could count on the support of some fans, who defended the athlete and her choice to play on Friday.
