Steven Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 Ignore the issue about drinking, heatley killed a person who he is responible is in his Motor Vehical, for that the charges now will include Vehicular Homicide. Forget the charges. He's going to be living this psychologically for the rest of his life. Atlanta do the right thing, and Retire #37.

He's going to be living this psychologically for the rest of his life. Atlanta do the right thing, and Retire #37. vehicular homicide along with reckless driving, speeding, possibly a DUI.. heatley fuked up big time here.. and he had/has such a bright future, as did snyder.. but heatley especially.. what a shame for both of these guys.. and yes atlanta needs to retire #37, no one else needs to wear that number after this Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/105921-atlanta-thrashers-player-dead-at-25/#findComment-1227641 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatnipOligarchy Posted October 6, 2003 Author Share Posted October 6, 2003 If Snyder had been wearing his seatbelt he would most likely be alive. hitting a brick pillar at 80 mph in an aluminium car is still a tough one to survive, seatbelt or not Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/105921-atlanta-thrashers-player-dead-at-25/#findComment-1227658 Share on other sites More sharing options...
