John Coughlin's family told a medical investigator that Coughlin committed suicide after being falsely accused of sexual misconduct by someone he was competing with for a TV commentating job.

CONNECTTWEETLINKEDINCOMMENTEMAILMOREThe family of two-time national pairs figure skating champion John Coughlin told a medical investigator in Kansas City that Coughlin committed suicide after being falsely accused of sexual misconduct by someone he was competing with for a TV commentating job.

“The subject is an Olympic figure skater who was currently trying to get a commentator position with the U.S. Olympic Committee,” Hawkins wrote. “He was competing for the position with another person. This person made false allegations, which resulted in the subject getting suspended from all correspondence and activities.”

It’s not clear what new television job he might have been seeking, or with whom he might have been competing. There are no figure skating commentating jobs within the USOC itself.
