The 2-month-old son of Washington Capitals' goaltender Jose Theodore had died, the Washington Capitals confirmed on Thursday.
"We are aware of the heartbreaking news," said general manager George McPhee in a statement. "At this time we ask that everyone respects the privacy of Jose and his family."
The goalie's sister-in-law, Veronique Cloutier, made the announcement during her show on a Montreal radio station, but did not provide details. Veronique Cloutier's sister, Stephanie, is married to Theodore.
Theodore's son was believed to have been born two months premature, The Washington Post reports, citing that the information was revealed by a friend of Theodore's. The boy had been hospitalized with respiratory complications since birth and died last week, the Post revealed.
Theodore and Stephanie Cloutier also have a three-year-old daughter, Romy.
