Twitter is saying it was a suicide.

Suicide? Wasn't Montador known as a fighter, and not a particularly good one? Someone who got the worst of his fights pretty regularly?
 
Not good.

He left the KHL because of concussion issues. So yeah. This sucks. I don't know what the answer is but I hope there's one out there and that it's found asap.

Let's belay the suicide talk for now.

Not good.

I usually tune out fights, so don't remember that, but he was a good shot blocker on the PK IIRC.

He battled depression earlier in his life as well. Sorry to hear the news.
