Former NHL player Konstantin Koltsov was "most likely… very drunk" when he died of an apparent suicide earlier this week, his ex-wife says.

Koltsov was 42 when he died – police say they were dispatched to the St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort after a male "jumped from a balcony."

While no foul play is suspected, Koltsov's ex-wife, Yulia Mikhailova, says Koltsov "probably… did not keep track of his actions."

"Most likely, he was very drunk. Unfortunately, hockey players are sometimes guilty of this. Empty alcohol bottles were found in the room where Konstantin stayed," she told the Belrusan outlet Zerkalo, via Google Translate.

Mikhailova is guessing that Koltsov's death was an "accident."

"We still have the old family computer with Konstantin's email. I knew the passwords and managed to open some emails. Konstantin had further booked apartments in a different location. Purchases that have not yet arrived have been paid for," she said. "Rented a car for a long time. That is, he did not intend to die. 

"Anything, of course, can go to your head, but there was no sign of tragedy."

Koltsov and Mikhailova had three children together – he recently dated tennis star Aryna Sabalenka, but she confirmed they were "no longer together" at the time of his death.
