Former NHLer Stan Jonathan has been charged with criminal negligence causing death after Peter Kosid of Hamilton was killed on a native reserve outside Brantford Sunday morning.

While out hunting, Jonathan, 57, a Six Nations band member, fired a round that travelled about 375 metres before hitting Kosid, who was bow-hunting on a friend’s nearby property.

According to local police, Jonathan was deer hunting and was not with, or known to, Kosid, who was shot in the back.
