Former LSU Receiver Kyren Lacy Found Dead at 24

Lacy, facing criminal charges tied to a fatal December car crash, was discovered in Houston; reports suggest his death may have been a suicide.

Kyren Lacy, a former LSU wide receiver and NFL draft hopeful, was found dead on April 12 in Houston, Texas, at the age of 24.
Reports indicate that Lacy's death is suspected to be a suicide, though the official cause has not yet been confirmed by authorities.
Lacy was facing charges of negligent homicide, felony hit-and-run, and reckless driving stemming from a December 2024 car crash that killed 78-year-old Herman Hall.
The crash investigation alleged that Lacy was driving recklessly, causing other drivers to swerve and resulting in a fatal head-on collision, though his attorney denied his culpability.
Lacy's death occurred just days before a grand jury was scheduled to review evidence in the case, and his family has called for more awareness of mental health issues.
