Well, well....
Pavel Krasheninnikov, who sits on the Russian Hockey Federation's supervisory council and is a member of the State Duma, said there was no ambulance on duty at the Chekhov arena where Alexei Cherepanov's team, Avangard Omsk, was playing, according to several reports.
According to reports from Moscow, Krashennikov said that emergency workers took too long to respond and didn't have a defibrillator, a machine used to shock the heart. "There are elements of negligence here," Krasheninnikov said in televised comments.
That's similar to some of the previous reports that have come from the site (which said and ambulance had to be called and there was a defibrillator that wasn't functioning), so nothing's certain, far as I can tell.
Meanwhile, Moscow regional investigator Yulia Zhukova said officials would look into why Cherepanov was playing with chronic ischemia, a medical condition in which insufficient blood gets to the heart or other organs, and said officials could open a criminal investigation.
Unclear how Zhukova knows this, perhaps from an autopsy.
Still no word from the KHL, which I'm guessing will have to provide records of Cherepanov's testing and perhaps will blame the municipal or regional health administrators for the equipment and personnel problems, if this turns out to be true.
