Saw that.

Still haven't seen anything about the circumstances of his passing. Couldn't help but think suicide but nothing known just yet

Suicide was my first thought.  They said he was a top 50 player in the draft at one point.

Whoa. 
 

RIP

RIP to the 78 year old man he killed

HOUSTON (WAFB) - Former LSU wide receiver Kyren Lacy has passed away at the age of 24 in Houston, a family member has confirmed.

His death is a suspected suicide, a source said.

A spokesperson for the Harris County Precinct 4 Constable’s Office said the death occurred early Sunday morning, April 13.

Lacy was arrested earlier this year on charges related to a deadly hit-and-run crash in Lafourche Parish.

A grand jury was set to start hearing evidence in the case tomorrow morning.

I do not want to make assumptions, but I hate to see a few bad decisions made by a youth in a moment of panic (I assume) end two lives.  I do not know details, but I used to teach people his age.  I used to be his age.

This is soo sad may he RIP 

[CPcavedweller]

Sad for everyone involved. Watched him at, I believe, South Alabama or Louisiana before he went to LSU. Can’t let bad decisions spiral. 
 

two families lost people over a few moments of poor judgment. Horrible.

Two lives lost for no reason. Something has to give with the state of American drivers on our roads sooner or later. Too many idiots who don't need one are getting a license and driving like aggressive asshats and half of them are in overpowered muscle cars they also don't need.

I guess that's one way to stay out of jail? He probably wouldn't have had to serve any time too.

Knowing how detectives work they probably put the fear of god in him
