Details regarding former LSU player Kyren Lacy's death

The death of former LSU player Kyren Lacy hasn't been easy to swallow for many people. While Lacy was surrounded by controversy recently, his passing was a shock to the sports world.

Although the cause of death is still not officially confirmed, TMZ reported that the wide receiver died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The site also reported that Lacy was allegedly being chased by the police. Officers said his car later crashed, and when they came to take him into custody, he had a gunshot wound on his body and recovered a handgun from the car.

Following his death, LSU also released a statement.

"We’re saddened to learn of the tragic passing of former LSU football student-athlete Kyren Lacy,” LSU said in a statement. “Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones, as well as his former teammates and coaches impacted by his passing."

Kyren Lacy was also going through a trial regarding his involvement in the fatal accident that took place last December. It was reported that a 78-year-old man was killed by his speeding car. He had fled the scene.

Just a few days after the accident, Lacy declared for the NFL draft. Although his draft stock had taken a hit after the incident, he was still expecting to hear his name called.
