NHL legend Claude Lemieux left his family “individualized” notes just before he took his own life, according to the New York Post, which obtained an incident report. The father of four wrote multiple messages in his notes app and “left a Post-it on his phone with instructions for how to access them” before he died by suicide on May 28. “The notes were heartfelt in nature,” Florida cops reportedly wrote in their report, adding that they “reflected sorrow for his decision, and were consistent with that of a suicide note.” The four-time Stanley Cup winner, who died at 60, was found by his son at a furniture showroom owned by the family near Palm Beach. Lemieux’s death came shortly after his wife, Deborah, confronted him about a possible relapse after 12 years of sobriety, police said. When Lemieux confirmed his backslide, police said she asked him to leave their home. Lemieux’s son, Brendan, learned of the confrontation and went looking for his father that same night, tracking his location to the family business, where he discovered his body.
