HOUSTON (WAFB) – Former LSU wide receiver Kyren Lacy has passed away at the age of 24 in Houston, a family member has confirmed.

His death is a suspected suicide, a source said.

Lacy was arrested earlier this year on charges related to a deadly hit-and-run crash in Lafourche Parish.

A grand jury was set to start hearing evidence in the case tomorrow morning.

In LSU’s most recent season, Lacy led the Tigers in receiving touchdowns (9) and was second on the team in catches (58) and receiving yards (866). During his five-year collegiate career at the University of Louisiana and LSU, he caught 162 passes for 2,360 yards and scored 26 touchdowns.
