Man charged in Gaudreau brothers’ deaths had blood-alcohol level over legal limit

Sean M. Higgins, the driver charged with killing NHL hockey player Johnny Gaudreau and his brother Matthew while they biked on a rural road, had a blood-alcohol level of .087, above the .08 legal limit in New Jersey, a prosecutor said Friday. The brothers had gone for a bicycle ride in Carneys Point, N.J., on Aug. 29, the eve of their sister Katie’s wedding, where they were both to serve as groomsmen. However, they never made it back to their childhood home after they were struck from behind. Higgins, 43, of nearby Woodstown, N.J., is charged with two counts of death by auto, along with reckless driving, possession of an open container and consuming alcohol in a motor vehicle.
