Former LSU wide receiver Kyren Lacy was found dead Saturday night in Houston, ESPN reported Sunday morning.
ESPN cited an unnamed LSU official, who confirmed Lacy’s death.
Lacy, 24, had run into legal trouble earlier this year, when he was accused of causing a crash that killed a 78-year-old man in December and then leaving the scene. He turned himself into authorities on Jan. 12 and was later released on $151,000 bail, according to police records.
Lafourche (Louisiana) Parish Sheriff’s Office records obtained by ESPN, Lacy was charged with negligent homicide, felony hit-and-run with death and reckless operation of a vehicle.
