Lacy is suspected to have died by suicide on April 12 in Houston. He was aged 24. The LSU star's death came just a few weeks before the NFL Draft.

Back in December, the WR had been in a car accident that killed a 78-year-old man and hurt others. He was charged with serious crimes, including negligent homicide, felony hit-and-run with death and reckless operation of a vehicle.

Lacy took part in LSU’s pro day in March.

"2, why would you leave me, bro? I had half a heart left when Quan left me, and you just took the other half! I’ll never be good on this earth again. 💔😭💔💔 We promised we had each other through it all, and we did, but 2, why!!?? IF NOBODY WAS HERE FOR YOU, RONTRELL IS, and you know this, Bro!!!!!! The dreams we had started to kick in—you making it to the NFL and me playing ball overseas!!!"
