Police have arrested a man on suspicion of manslaughter over the death of Adam Johnson.
Johnson tragically passed away at the age of 29 following an ice hockey game on October 28.
As reported by BBC News, the Nottingham Panthers player suffered a devastating neck injury during a game against the Sheffield Steelers.
Despite being transported to a nearby hospital, Johnson was pronounced dead - with the South Yorkshire Police later stating that a post-mortem examination confirming that Johnson died as a result of a fatal neck injury.
On Tuesday (November 14), police confirmed that a man has been arrested over Johnson's death.
Detective Chief Superintendent Rebecca Horsfall said in a statement to the press: "We have been carrying out extensive inquiries to piece together the events which led to the loss of Adam in these unprecedented circumstances.
"We have been speaking to highly specialized experts in their field to assist in our inquiries and continue to work closely with the health and safety department at Sheffield City Council, which is supporting our ongoing investigation.
"Adam's death has sent shockwaves through many communities, from our local residents here in Sheffield to ice hockey fans across the world."
The suspect is currently being held in police custody.
Horsfall has also urged the public to refrain from "comment and speculation which could hinder" the ongoing investigation.
An obituary written by Johnson's family reads: "Adam loved the outdoors and the simple things in life. He enjoyed yard work, fishing, golfing with buddies, playing in the Iron Ice hockey tournament, projects around the house, reading, following the stock market, and listening to his favorite music.
"Adam especially enjoyed his quiet coffee time with his fiancée Ryan, dreaming about their future, and taking in the mornings together. Adam loved to live a slower life and took pleasure in the small, everyday things."
It continued: "Simple pleasures Adam enjoyed were manually grinding his coffee beans, seeing the colors of each sunset, sitting lakeside by a bonfire with a glass of his favorite red wine, and trying out new dinner recipes."
Johnson's heartbroken fiancée, Ryan Wolfe - who ran onto the ice after the horrific accident - recently shared a photo of Johnson uploaded by the Augsburger Panther page with an overlay text that read: "My sweet, sweet angel. I'll miss you forever and love you always."
She also paid another heartfelt tribute with the message: "Rest in peace my sweet boy. We love you so much."
Our thoughts continue to go out to everybody affected by this tragedy.
