COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- The death of Trevor Ettinger, a forward in the Columbus Blue Jackets' organization, was a suicide, police said Tuesday.

Authorities found Ettinger, 23, at his parents' home in Upper Kennetcook outside Halifax, Nova Scotia, while responding to a 911 call Saturday.

"I can confirm that he died as a result of suicide," said Michelle Raoul Winters, spokeswoman for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Nova Scotia. "We have determined that there was no foul play, and the case has been closed."

She would not release any more details.

Ettinger, a 6-foot-5, 240-pound left wing, split the past two seasons between Syracuse of the American Hockey League, the Blue Jackets top minor league team, and Dayton of the East Coast Hockey League.
