The family has not confirmed the news, but did release a statement thanking everyone for their support.

“Last night we lost two husbands, two fathers, two sons, two brothers, two sons and brothers-in-law, two nephews, two cousins, two family members, two teammates, two friends, but truly two wonderful people,” the statement said.

According to Katie and Devin’s wedding website, the Gaudreau brothers and their wives are expected to be part of the bridal party.

GAUDREAU FAMILY RELEASES HEARTBREAKING STATEMENT AFTER SUSPECTED DRUNK DRIVER CHARGED IN BROTHERS’ DEATH

Sean Higgins, 43, was arrested and charged after New Jersey State Police said he attempted to pass two other vehicles and struck the Gaudreau brothers from behind. Higgins was suspected of being under the influence of alcohol.

Police said Higgins failed a field sobriety test and admitted to a responding officer that he had consumed five or six beers before the crash. He also admitted to drinking alcohol while driving, police added.

Higgins appeared virtually before a judge on Friday. Prosecutors requested his detention, and the judge agreed, setting his detention hearing for Thursday.

Higgins then asked, “So I’m here until Thursday?” The judge explained that because of the motion, he is required to hold Higgins for a minimum of 72 hours. Because of the long weekend, this means he won’t be able to appear in court until Thursday, September 5.
