Figure Skater John Coughlin (33) Dies of Apparent Suicide After Being Suspended from Sport

"She and her father remain convinced: If SafeSport investigators possessed any definitive evidence of wrongdoing, they would have rushed to reveal it in the face of his suicide. SafeSport shut down the investigation instead of finishing, his family believes, because officials had found nothing."

This is horrible, but not surprising considering the current state of our media. What a nightmare if it was untrue.

Yea, it's guilty automatically upon accusations.

Could the family & supporters file a wrongful death suit, or something, and potentially their attorneys would receive more information?

Or, how is it possible that there's not even a hint of the identity of any of the accusers? The family indicates knowing at least one.

We're not familiar with leak-less situations....

RIP, National Champion, peace to your supportive family & friends!

JMHO YMMV

I am not sure who the actual accuser is. It might not have been any of the females but somebody else.
His family is certainly suspicious it was somebody (a jealous rival) who wanted to bring him down.

Ashley Wagner: Figure skater writes she was sexually assaulted at 17

Ashley Wagner was one of his victims.

So was one of his partners, Bridget Namiotka. She skated with him when she was age 14 through 17. He was 18 through 21 I think.
