Ex-LSU receiver Kyren Lacy died in an apparent suicide during a police chase, authorities say

Former LSU wide receiver Kyren Lacy, aged 24, has died in Houston in an apparent suicide while being chased by authorities. This information comes from a Harris County sheriff’s report released on Sunday. Lacy was facing legal charges related to a deadly car crash in Louisiana last December, which had affected his NFL prospects. The pursuit of Lacy by Harris County authorities ended with a crash on Saturday night, resulting in his death. Emergency responders pronounced Lacy dead at the scene. LSU expressed sadness over the news and extended condolences to his family, former teammates, and coaches. Lacy, who led LSU in receiving touchdowns last season, had entered the NFL draft but faced a decline in his draft status due to his alleged involvement in the fatal accident. The incident in Lafourche Parish, Louisiana, involved reckless driving by Lacy, resulting in the death of a 78-year-old man. Lacy fled the scene without seeking assistance and was charged with several offenses. Despite playing well for LSU last season, Lacy’s NFL aspirations were overshadowed by the tragic events leading to his death.
