Police have revealed the driver's blood alcohol level during Johnny Gaudreau's accident

The brothers, aged 31 and 29, were cycling in Carneys Point, New Jersey, on August 29, just a day before serving as groomsmen at their sister Katie's wedding.

Sean M. Higgins, 43, from Woodstown, New Jersey, faces charges of death by auto, reckless driving, and open container violations. At a virtual court hearing, Higgins' defense argued he was a law-abiding family man who made a grave mistake, but the judge ordered he be held for trial. Higgins reportedly admitted to having five or six beers, drinking while driving, and speeding around cars attempting to avoid the cyclists.

Johnny Gaudreau, affectionately known as "Johnny Hockey," was a celebrated NHL player, set to begin his third season with the Columbus Blue Jackets after a stellar career with the Calgary Flames. Widows Meredith and Madeline Gaudreau, both expecting, gave emotional tributes during the brothers' double funeral, reflecting on their close bond throughout life. Higgins faces up to 20 years if convicted.
