Steve Durbano, whose life spiraled downward after his NHL career ended in 1979, died Saturday from liver cancer. He was 50.

Durbano played parts of six seasons as a defender for St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Kansas City and Colorado.

In 220 career games, he was credited with 73 points and amassed 1,127 penalty minutes. He was the 13th player selected in the 1971 entry draft.

In 1983, Durbano was sentenced to seven years in prison for his part in a scheme to import cocaine. In 1995, he went back to prison after offering an undercover police officer a job with an escort service he was operating.
