According to a Rochester Police report released on Wednesday, Johnson was discovered by his wife soon before 10 a.m. on July 7. She said that he had been awake for several hours and had been going through financial documents before she woke him up for the day. He was 49 years old. The cause of death was determined to be a gunshot wound to the head. Police say there are no signs of trauma to any part of his body except for one hand which appears to have been trapped under something as he stood at his desk with the gun in it. After leaving the Preds in 1999, Johnson played for the New York Islanders, Boston Bruins, and Tampa Bay Lightning before retiring in 2012. He returned to Nashville in 2014 to serve as an assistant coach under Barry Trotz. "We are deeply saddened by this news," the Predators said in a statement. "Greg was a two-time Stanley Cup champion with the Predators and a key member of our team during its most successful era. His work ethic and dedication to learning new techniques were admired by everyone who worked with him. This is a difficult time for his family and friends, and we offer our support during this difficult period."
