Former NHL Player Chris Simon’s Cause of Death Revealed


A cause of death has been revealed in the passing of former NHL player Chris Simon, who died March 18 at the age of 52

The NHL Alumni Association remembered Simon after his death in a Tuesday post via X, saying he was “never afraid to stand up for his teammates, and played a key role in the dressing room.” In 2017, Simon filed for bankruptcy and cited “significant brain trauma” suffered during his playing days for his inability to find work, according to documents obtained by the Ottawa Citizen. The documents cited a doctor who stated Simon suffered from depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder and arthritis in his shoulder, hand, knees, back and neck.
