Some of the guys on the Rangers' forums are suggesting it might be concussion related.

Cause of death was mixing medication with alcohol:

BOOGAARD'S DEATH RULED ACCIDENT, FROM MIXING ALCOHOL, OXYCODONE

MINNEAPOLIS -- The death of Rangers enforcer Derek Boogaard was an accident, due to a toxic mix of alcohol and the powerful pain killer oxycodone.

The Hennepin County Medical Examiner announced Boogaard's cause of death Friday, saying it was unclear exactly when the 28-year-old died. Boogaard was found dead in his Minneapolis apartment last Friday, five months after he sustained a season-ending concussion with the New York Rangers.

The medical examiner said no private data on Boogaard would be released, but a statement his family issued through the National Hockey League Players' Association indicated the six-foot-seven Boogaard had been struggling with pain and addiction.

...

Experts say mixing alcohol and medicines can cause dangerous reactions. Drinking alcohol while taking strong pain killers like oxycodone can result in breathing problems and increase the risk of an overdose, according to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism.
