Johnson, 29, had been 'having the time of his life in the UK', loved playing for the Nottingham Panthers and was planning to get engaged to his girlfriend, his aunt tells Sky News.
The family of the ice hockey player who died after his throat was slashed by a skate during a game have said they knew he was 'really in trouble' as soon as it happened. The American player Adam Johnson's aunt, Kari Johnson, was watching him play for the Nottingham Panthers via a livestream with his father and grandmother when he was fatally injured last Saturday. 'It was terrible, it was horrific, we didn't know what to do,' she told Sky News from Minnesota in the US.
' She described watching the game via a livestream with his family, and how they 'knew right away he was in trouble'. One of his teammates eventually got hold of his phone and called Johnson's father, saying he would keep in touch. After hearing Johnson had died, his aunt said: 'We all just broke down: it was a mess, it was a nightmare, it was like it wasn't real.
