Authorities Report Apparent Suicide of Ex-LSU Wide Receiver Kyren Lacy
Former Louisiana State University wide receiver Kyren Lacy has sadly passed away in Houston at the young age of 24, as reported by Baton Rouge TV station WAFB on Sunday.
According to a family member, this news comes just 11 days before Lacy was hoping to be selected in the upcoming NFL draft.
Lacy was facing charges of negligent homicide, felony hit-and-run, and reckless operation of a vehicle following a car accident in Chackbay, Louisiana on December 17, 2024, which resulted in the death of a 78-year-old man. He turned himself in the following month and was released on bail of $151,000.

In total, Lacy played in 64 games for both Louisiana (2020-2021) and LSU (2022-2024), finishing his collegiate career with 162 catches for 2,360 yards and 26 touchdowns.
