Magnuson was killed in an auto accident in Vaughan, Ontario.
Rob Ramage, a fellow NHL alumnus, was behind the wheel (Ramage survived the crash and was later found guilty of impaired driving causing death). Magnuson appeared in 589 games in his career, all with the Chicago Black Hawks, despite wearing # 3, scoring 14 goals and 125 assists for 139 points.
Despite the fact that he didn't score many goals, the Blackhawks' defensive team was still strong.
His 1,442 career penalty minutes, which included a significant number of fighting majors, is perhaps his most telling statistic.
Magnuson served as captain of the Chicago Blackhawks for a few seasons.
He appeared on the front page of Sports Illustrated in April 1970.
