Former Louisiana State University receiver Kyren Lacy, who was facing criminal charges stemming from a fatal car accident in December, has died at age 24, a university athletics spokesman said Sunday.
«We’re saddened to learn of the tragic passing of former LSU Football student-athlete Kyren Lacy. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones, as well as his former teammates and coaches impacted by his passing», the LSU Athletic Department said in a statement to CBS News.
CBS affiliate WAFB-TV in Baton Rouge reported that the Harris County Precinct 4 Constable’s Office said Lacy died early Sunday morning, a day before a grand jury was set to start hearing evidence in his alleged involvement in a crash that killed a 78-year-old man in Lafourche Parish, Louisiana.
While the LSU Athletic Department confirmed Lacy’s death, it did not confirm the cause.
