    Adam Johnson's girlfriend found the engagement ring he was planning to give her just after his tragic death, according to family friends.<\/p>\n

    The 29-year-old ice hockey player passed away on October 28 after being hit in the neck by a skate while playing for the Nottingham Panthers against the Sheffield Steelers. It later emerged he was planning to propose to his girlfriend, Ryan, and had already bought the ring in preparation for the special day.<\/p>\n

    Heartbreakingly, Ryan, 24, found the ring in the apartment she shared with Adam a few days after his death. Speaking to USA Today, a friend of the family claimed Johnson's loved ones knew he was planning to pop the question at some point.<\/p>\n

    "His grandmother told me that [Johnson] had shown her the ring before he left and he was going to propose at some point \u2026 I'm sure [Ryan[ had an inkling," revealed Scott Pionk, whose son played college hockey with Johnson. The American outlet also reported that a second friend of family, who wanted to remain anonymous, confirmed Pionk's account.<\/p>\n

    Johnson's aunt Kari said: "We were all really excited because we were really looking forward to their future and he didn't get a chance to ask her [to marry him], and then this happened." Adam and Ryan had been dating for over a year and it's claimed he bought the ring before they moved to England for his ice hockey career in August.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Ryan gave an emotional eulogy at Adam's funeral in Minnesota last week, calling him her "everything". She said: "You're such a special person, you have the best sense of humour, the biggest heart, the quickest wit and the kindest soul. You're unbelievably loyal, dedicated and smart. You're so, so smart.<\/p>\n

    "To me you were everything. you were my home, my best friend, my sounding board, my rock, my safe haven and the love of my life. I'm never gonna stop thinking about you, missing you and loving you until we can be together again. Love you."<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    On Tuesday, a man was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter by South Yorkshire Police. The man was subsequently released on police bail. A coroner's inquest was opened into Johnson's death last week, before being adjourned until January 2024. <\/p>\n
