SHEFFIELD, England — A man who was arrested more than a year ago on suspicion of manslaughter in the death of ice hockey player Adam Johnson was again re-bailed. Johnson played for the Nottingham Panthers and died shortly after his neck had been sliced in a collision with Sheffield Steelers defenseman Matt Petgrave during a game on Oct. 28, 2023. A man was arrested two weeks later and though South Yorkshire Police have not publicly identified him, Petgrave himself said in a crowdfunding appeal for legal fees that he's the subject of a police investigation. He's been re-bailed several times — this one extending to May 29.
