Son of Leafs GM Brian Burke dies after collision/ Story of Acceptance Between Father & Son

The youngest son of Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Brian Burke has died from injuries sustained in a car accident on Friday, the hockey team announced.

Brendan Burke, 21, was fatally injured in a two-vehicle collision in snowy conditions in Indiana.

A passenger in Burke's car, Mark Reedy, 18, of Bloomfield Hills, Mich., also died at the scene of the afternoon crash, the Palladium-Item newspaper in Richmond, Ind., reported.

The Maple Leals organization released the following statement after the team's game Friday in New Jersey:

"We are saddened to report that Brendan Burke, the youngest son of Leafs president and general manager Brian Burke succumbed to injuries he suffered in an auto accident earlier today in Indiana. The family asks for privacy at this difficult time."

Burke is the father of six children.
