Kyren Lacy, a former standout wide receiver at LSU who had declared for the NFL draft, was found dead in Houston Saturday night, his attorney confirmed Sunday. He was 24-years-old.
The cause of death is suspected to be suicide, according to a report from the New York Post. Houston police referred media inquiries to the Harris County Medical Examiner’s office, which did not immediately respond to an email from The Associated Press on Sunday.
Lacy was set to stand trial over his alleged involvement in a fatal car crash that killed a 78-year-old man in Louisiana this past December.
Police allege that Lacy was driving a 2023 Dodge Charger south on a Louisiana highway and “recklessly passed multiple vehicles at a high rate of speed” and entered the oncoming lane in a no passing zone, according to police documents obtained by local outlet WAFB. A truck was forced to swerve in order to avoid a collision with Lacy’s vehicle, at which point the vehicle behind it collided with another vehicle going in the opposite direction.
“Following the crash, Lacy drove around the crash scene and fled south on LA Hwy 20 without stopping to render aid, call emergency services, or report his involvement in the crash,” police documents allege.
