As living beings, of which the notion of life itself still remains mysterious, we are aware that with each coming day, we inch closer to the coffin. Death, as mysterious as life itself, strikes at the most unlikely and unplausible times for most.

It did for Marguerite Kuhlman, and in 1986, her mother Mildred.

The 68-year old woman passed away while attending the Hawks-Avalanche game at the United Centre this past Monday. Interestingly but strangely enough, Marguerite’s mother Mildred Kulman died at Chicago Stadium during a game 22 years ago, on March 30th 1986, at the old but well remembered Chicago Stadium.

Her sisters, Patricia and Dorothea spoke fondly of Marguerite, and all have been hockey fans in a city that’s now craving hockey for many years.

Dorothea claimed in an interview with the Chicago Tribune’s Noreen S. Ahmed-Ullah that a fellow Hawks fan alerted her that Marguerite had fallen over her seat. Noticing she was unconscious and not breathing, emergency specialists on site were quickly called over. And as the circle of life ends, it did at 8:25 PM CST for Marguerite Kuhlman at the Rush University Medical Centre.

Heart attack? Close enough, in another case that’ll keep the hockey Gods looking on, heart disease was the cause of this all but happy ending.
