HC Sibir has confirmed this.
Andrei Tarasenko has passed away. 😢 #RIP 
56 years old.
At just 56-years of age, this is a tragedy for the Tarasenko family and anyone touched by Andrei over the years, as he played a significant role on and off the ice in the landscape of Russian hockey for a long time. Between 1985 and 2005, Tarasenko was an effective player on the ice in many leagues in Russia, and has been a big supporter of his son after making the NHL, getting to witness Vladimir win the Stanley Cup not once but twice.
We send our thoughts and prayers to Vladimir, his family and friends and anyone that has been effected by Andrei's career or personal life.
Rest in Peace Andrei Tarasenko.
