Talented Young Hockey Player Dies after Falling From Truck
Ian Jenkins, believed to be one of the best 15 year old hockey goaltenders in U.S., died on Monday morning after falling onto the pavement out of pickup truck bed cover and suffering severe head injury. The shocking death of the talented hockey player is under investigation, but the police have ruled out use of drugs or drink. Ian was a well known hockey professional and had been signed by the Ontario Hockey League London Knights just a day before the accident.
The hockey player was sitting atop the truck's bed cover, while his 16 year old friend was driving the vehicle. It is thought that his feet were resting on the bumper and he slipped or hopped of the truck, and his head hit the pavement. He never gained consciousness again.
