Marc Potvin Update

According to the Glens Falls Post-Star, Marc Potvin committed suicide.

Former Adirondack Frostbite coach Marc Potvin committed suicide by hanging himself from a shower curtain rod in his Michigan hotel room, police said Thursday.

Potvin’s blood-alcohol content was nearly twice the legal threshold for intoxication when tests were performed on a blood sample in the hours after his Jan. 13 death, said Kalamazoo Police Detective Sgt. Scott Merlo.

He was married and had two young children, but he and his wife had separated in recent months and were divorcing.

“He was going through a divorce, but he was handling that well,” Melrose said.

The police release Thursday of the manner and cause of death confirmed rumors that had been swirling since the days after Potvin died, when police said there was no foul play and that it was apparent to them how he died. They would not publicly theorize on what they believed happened, however.
