    • Bob Probert suffered 'severe chest pain' before collapsing, father-in-law says

    WINDSOR, Ont. ? Former NHL forward Bob Probert died Monday, after collapsing in a boat on Lake St. Clair near Windsor.

    The death was confirmed in Windsor late Monday afternoon by OPP spokeswoman Shawna Coulter.

    Emergency crews performed CPR on the former Detroit Red Wings player on shore and transported the 45-year-old to Windsor Regional Hospital.
    A witness on the scene, who asked not to be identified, said there were children and a woman on the boat with Probert.

    "Something happened, a medical emergency," the witness said. "He was fixing the trim or something, stood up and then fell down."

    Probert, who was born in Windsor, played 16 seasons in the NHL. He played for the Red Wings for nine seasons and the Chicago Blackhawks for seven others.

    The bruising left-winger scored 163 career NHL goals and set up 221 others for a regular-season total of 384 points, but was best noted for his pugilistic skills. Probert amassed 3,300 penalty minutes in 935 career games, ranking sixth on the all-time penalty minutes leaders? list.
