Former LSU receiver Kyren Lacy, 24, died in an apparent suicide in his car while being pursued by authorities in Houston. Lacy was facing criminal charges from a fatal car accident in Louisiana in December, which had impacted his NFL prospects. Harris County authorities reported that the pursuit of Lacy ended when he crashed, and he was found dead in an apparent suicide. LSU released a statement expressing sadness and offering condolences to Lacy’s family, former teammates, and coaches.
Lacy, who led LSU in receiving touchdowns the previous season, had declared for the NFL draft but saw his draft stock plummet after the accident in Louisiana. He was allegedly driving recklessly, which led to a fatal head-on crash that killed a 78-year-old man. Lacy fled the scene without calling for help and was later charged with negligent homicide, felony hit-and-run, and reckless operation of a vehicle.
Despite his legal troubles, Lacy played in 12 games for LSU the previous season, recording 58 catches and 866 receiving yards. He declared for the NFL draft shortly after the accident and did not play in LSU’s bowl game. His death has shocked the LSU community and raised questions about the challenges he was facing.
