According to reports, the 29-year-old North Texas youth hockey coach died of coronavirus complications late last month after feeling sick for just three days.
Tyler Ambergi was a “loving husband and loving father” who has played hockey since he was 7 years old, his wife, Aimee Ambergi, told WFAA-TV in Dallas. His daughter Riley is 8 years old.
She said her husband first thought he had a cold journey from rink to rink, like a normal summer.
“It started like the original … with it all became like … symptoms of a common cold,” he told the station.
He then began to suffer from ause, drowsiness, shortness of breath, fatigue and migraines, noted Fox 4 in Dallas.

On the third day, by Aug. 29, his wife said he had finally canceled his hockey practice, where some players had already tested positive, and slept at his home in Love Not, Texas, north of Dallas.
After a while, she didn’t respond to him in bed. She called 911, but it was too late, she told the WFAA.
The medical examiner said the sleeping pill combined with the ambergris virus slowed his heart until it stopped, his grandfather, Paul Hinds, told the Journal Star in Peoria, Illinois. Emberji was a former Peoria Riverman hockey player.
“He told us with sleeping pills that your heartbeat slows down, and in combination with COVID-19, which also slows down your heart, Tyler’s heart stopped.” He said. “We don’t know if he has COVID-19. No one knew when he gathered to meet him.”
Amburgy played for several smaller league teams before becoming coach, The New York Times reports.

He endured many careers and underwent five hip surgeries during his career. It is unclear whether any of them make him more susceptible to the virus.
Hinds told the Journal Star that he had only tested positive for the virus after his death.
“Hockey meant everything to her,” Amy Ambergay told the Times. “When he got a new pair of skates, he was like a kid at Christmas time. You never delivered anyone new equipment, shin guards. “
He added, “I wish he would be remembered for more than just one person who … passed away from Covid,” he added.
