Beloved NHL star Claude Lemieux died at the age of 60.<\/p>\n

The NHL Alumni Association (NHLAA) announced his passing May 28 on X, but did not disclose his cause of death. However, his adult son reportedly discovered him dead by suicide in the family\u2019s furniture shop, TMZ reported. The Palm Beach County Sheriff\u2019s office said deputies responded to an attempted suicide at a furniture showroom Thursday that records indicated was owned by Lemiuex and his spouse, according to The Athletic<\/p>\n

The NHLAA shared a lengthy, loving tribute, honoring Lemieux\u2019s incredible achievements in the NHL. Lemieux spent 21 seasons in the NHL and was a four-time Stanley Cup victor \u2014 in 1986, 1995, 1996 and 2000.<\/p>\n

The veteran player carried the torch Monday into the Bell Centre in a pregame ceremony at the Canadiens\u2019 playoff game.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cBorn in Buckingham, Quebec, Claude was selected by the Montreal Canadiens in the second round of the 1983 NHL Entry Draft and would make his NHL debut just a few months later on October 13, 1983 and scored his first career NHL goal on December 4, 1983,\u201d the NHLAA\u2019s statement read.<\/p>\n

\u201cClaude split time between the Canadiens organization and the QMJHL from 1983 to 1985, capturing the President\u2019s Cup with the Verdun Junior Canadiens in 1985 as QMJHL playoff champions, while earning the Guy Lafleur Trophy as Playoff MVP.\u201d<\/p>\n

The association\u2019s statement continued, \u201cThe very next season, Claude recorded 10 goals and 16 points in 20 playoff games as he and the Montreal Canadiens won the Stanley Cup.\u201d<\/p>\n

They noted that, \u201cIn 1994-95, his fifth and final season with New Jersey, Claude led the Devils to their first Stanley Cup championship, registering 13 goals in 20 playoff games, taking home the Conn Smythe Trophy as Playoff MVP.\u201d<\/p>\n

Honoring another of his many accolades, they said, \u201cAs a member of the Colorado Avalanche in 1995-96, Claude was once again an integral part of team history as the Avalanche hoisted Lord Stanley\u2019s Cup for the very first time in 1996.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cClaude played 297 regular-season games in an Avalanche uniform before rejoining the New Jersey Devils in November of 1999, and for a fourth and final time, would be crowned a Stanley Cup champion on June 10, 2000.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lemieux is survived by his wife and four children. The association requested privacy on behalf of the Lemieux family, and indicated memorial service details would follow.<\/p>\n
