Rest in peace, Roman

huh...got some sad news this morning...it seems Roman Lyashenko died over the weekend. Following is part of the news article...


ISTANBUL, Turkey -- New York Rangers forward Roman Lyashenko was found dead in a hotel room while vacationing in Turkey.


The Rangers said Monday the cause of death wasn't immediately known. However, Turkey's Anatolia news agency reported it was a suicide.

 
Roman Lyashenko played 17 games over parts of two seasons with the Rangers. (Getty Images)  Yuri Koritskiy, a Russian consular official, said the 24-year-old hockey player had been with his mother and sister in Antalya, a southern Mediterranean resort province popular with Russian and other European tourists. He said Lyashenko died Saturday but would not provide any other details.




The Anatolia news agency said Lyashenko apparently hanged himself with his belt in his hotel room.

Man, things like this are so depressing. He was only 24, and a good player too...

My mom's house got broken into yesterday or the day before...i can't see that they took anything though, they must not have been too bright. Made a mess, though...
