Found dead months after becoming a father
The cause of Hayes’ death was long unknown, because it was not possible to determine the cause of death of the 31-year-old. Among other things, a toxicology test was performed on Hayes, to see if he had toxins in his body.
The cause of death was clear on Friday last week. Now wife Kirsten and father Kevin Hayes confirm that the 31-year-old died of acute poisoning, as a result of ingesting a mixture of fentanyl and cocaine.
– I was totally shocked, says his wife Kristen, according to her Boston Globe, continues:
– I was sure it had nothing to do with drugs. I really thought it was a heart attack or whatever else… It just didn’t make sense, so it was hard. I was hoping for another answer when they called. I was hoping for clarity and was shocked to hear that The. It didn’t show ellipses at home.
– I was my soul mate
struggling with pain
Hayes had continued to take painkillers during a long hockey career and had recently been treated for the problem, but the family thought it was past separation. The use of fentanyl indicates otherwise.
“Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid used to treat pain. Fentanyl is 75 to 100 times stronger than morphine, and has faster onset and side effects than morphine,” he writes. The great Norwegian encyclopedia.
Still an active hockey player, Hayes ran a podcast, and was happy, married, with two young children. It seemed that he lived a life of dreams, and none of those close to him knew anything.

– Not addicted
Now the father and wife want to focus on the issue, to warn others in the same situation and possibly prevent something similar from happening.
I don’t want him to be labeled an “addict”. Do you understand what I mean? Because it wasn’t. Father Kevin Hayes says Jimmy helped everyone.
– I hope he can save some lives by telling us what happened to him. It’s great that this saved someone from such pain. He continues: He was a great American boy who made a terrible mistake that cost him his life.
