The Adam Johnson investigation takes an intriguing turn as the coroner, Tanyka Rawden, announces a temporary halt until July.
Rawden's decision is prompted by South Yorkshire Police's ongoing investigation, with an arrest made in November. If the police conclude their inquiry without charges by July, Rawden plans to resume her examination.
Johnson, a Nottingham Panthers player, tragically lost his life on October 28, 2023, after a skate-related incident.
The incident's impact has prompted rule adjustments, with USA Hockey mandating neck guards for under-18 players in response to the tragic event.
