Justin Soulliere Obituary, Essex, ON Death – Hockey Player Dies After E-Bike Accident

The community of Essex, Ontario, is mourning the death of a 14-year-old boy who succumbed to injuries sustained in an e-bike collision involving a motor vehicle.

According to information released by the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), emergency services responded to the collision at approximately 9:11 p.m. on November 4, 2026, at the intersection of Maidstone Avenue East and Cameron Avenue in the Town of Essex.

The teenage cyclist, who was from Essex, was transported to hospital with life-threatening injuries. Police subsequently confirmed that he had died from those injuries. The driver of the motor vehicle was not injured.

The Windsor-Essex Catholic District School Board also acknowledged the death of one of its students, expressing condolences to the student’s family and the St. Thomas of Villanova Catholic Secondary School community. The board said its mental-health team was providing support to students and staff affected by the loss.

An online article has identified the teenager as Justin Soulliere. However, the name has not been independently confirmed in the police information and other reliable sources reviewed for this report. It is therefore important not to treat that identification as officially established.

The OPP investigation remains ongoing. Anyone with information or dashcam footage relating to the collision is asked to contact police at 1-888-310-1122.

The thoughts of the wider community remain with the teenager’s loved ones, classmates and school community during this difficult time. Further personal or funeral information should be shared only when confirmed through the family or an authorised source.
