. There was 2:55 minutes left in the game. He played a shift with teammate Jaromír Jágr
, and the two were talking on the bench shortly after they left the ice, when he suddenly collapsed. After being attended to on the bench, he was carried to the dressing room where he was revived for several brief moments before finally being rushed to an intensive care unit
, but it was too late. The ambulance that is normally at all games had already departed and had to be called back; doctors arrived on the scene a full 15 minutes after Cherepanov collapsed, and the battery on the defibrillator used to attempt to shock Cherepanov's heart
back to life was drained. It took approximately 20 minutes to get him to a hospital. While in the care of Chekhov doctors, he was again resuscitated briefly on two occasions. He woke up for another 2 minutes, only to collapse again, before ultimately dying 2 hours later in the 2nd City Chekhov Hospital.

The exact cause of his death was originally a cause of dispute, with a regional investigator citing he was diagnosed with chronic ischemia, but medical professionals and league sources stated it was caused by hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
(HCM). Russian lawmakers said the following day that there would be investigations of negligence
on the part of the responding paramedics, with the possibility of a criminal investigation being opened as well.
On December 29, 2008, Russian investigators revealed that he suffered from myocarditis
, an inflammation of the heart muscle, and that he should not have been playing professional hockey; however, this has been disputed by the NHL after Cherepanov's testing at the NHL Combine. The federal Investigative Committee also announced that a chemical analysis
of Cherepanov's blood and urine samples allowed experts to conclude "that for several months Alexei Cherepanov engaged in doping". Official sources have stated the banned substance taken was nikethamide
, a stimulant
, and that it had been taken 3 hours prior to the game in which he died. A report by the Investigative Committee stated that "It is impossible to determine how and with what aim this medicine was administered." The same report also revealed that Cherepanov was not doping but was instead using cordiaminum probably used to treat his condition.
