The death of Wade Belak has stunned the hockey world and raised questions about whether his career as an NHL tough guy put his life at risk. Belak was found hanged in a downtown Toronto hotel on Wednesday afternoon. He was 35. He was out of hockey but had solid prospects for a career in radio. “He was very excited that he was having an opportunity to maybe change his career and get into some commentating work,” an associate said. All the circumstances deepen the mystery of his death. Belak was recalled as a good-looking man who spoke well.
