Koltsov, a former first-round pick who appeared in 144 total games for the Pittsburgh Penguins and the boyfriend of WTA No. 2 overall tennis star and 2024 Australian Open champion Aryna Sabalenka, 25, was located after Bal Harbour Police and Fire Rescue received a report of "a male that jumped from a balcony" at the St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort.
