Tragic cottage fire claims life of promising young hockey player in Prince Edward Island.
This past weekend, a devastating cottage fire in Prince Edward Island claimed the life of an up-and-coming hockey player, Noah Latimer, and left three of his friends and teammates injured.
The Cavendish police issued a statement detailing the harrowing event, noting the severity of the injuries and the unfortunate discovery of human remains once the fire was controlled.
"Three people who escaped the fire were injured, one with serious injuries. Once the fire was extinguished by the fire departments, human remains of one person were discovered inside. The scene was held by the RCMP and the investigation is ongoing."
The names of the individuals involved have not been released by the police, but the local hockey team, the Capstone Colts, confirmed the death of their player.
"Your Capstone Colts are absolutely devastated to hear of the passing of Noah Latimer. In Noah's short time with the Colts he made an immediate impact on the organization, being the ultimate teammate and even received playoff MVP award for the Colts. Our thoughts and prayers are with Noah's family, teammates and friends at this very difficult time. Latsy will be sincerely missed by so many and always remembered,"
The tragedy has resonated deeply within the hockey community. The Bearcats, another team for which Latimer played, expressed their sorrow over the loss of their former player.
"We are absolutely heartbroken to hear about the tragic accident involving 4 of our alumni this past weekend resulting in the loss of one of our own. Noah Latimer played parts of 2 seasons with the Bearcats in 2021/22 and 2022/23. Rest easy 22, forever in our hearts."
As the news spreads, the hockey world and its fans are mourning the loss of a young talent whose potential will remain unfulfilled.
