The man arrested on suspicion of manslaughter in connection with the death of ice hockey's Adam Johnson has been released on bail.
South Yorkshire Police, who have been investigating the incident which lost Johnson his life while he was playing for the Nottingham Panthers against the Sheffield Steelers last month, confirmed the suspect has been bailed on Wednesday (November 15) morning.
He was arrested on Tuesday, with Detective Chief Superintendent Becs Horsfall saying at the time: "Our investigation launched immediately following this tragedy and we have been carrying out extensive enquiries ever since to piece together the events which led to the loss of Adam in these unprecedented circumstances.
"We have been speaking to highly specialised experts in their field to assist in our enquiries 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.
"We know these communities will expect us to handle this investigation with the same professionalism, fairness and sensitivity as any other and request that members of the public refrain from comment and speculation which could hinder this process.
"Our thoughts remain with all affected by this devastating incident as enquiries continue."
