Former LSU wide receiver Kyren Lacy was discovered deceased on Saturday night in Houston, as reported by ESPN on Sunday morning. An unnamed LSU official confirmed Lacy’s passing. Lacy, 24, had faced legal issues earlier this year after being accused of causing a fatal crash in December that took the life of a 78-year-old man, and subsequently fleeing the scene. He surrendered to authorities on January 12 and was later released on $151,000 bail. According to police records from the Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office, Lacy was charged with negligent homicide, felony hit-and-run resulting in death, and reckless operation of a vehicle. During a ceremony at Tiger Stadium, LSU Tigers wide receiver Kyren Lacy was seen embracing his family as part of senior recognition. A grand jury was scheduled to convene on Monday to review evidence in the case, as reported by WAFB-TV in Baton Rouge. This information was originally reported by USA TODAY.
