Former LSU wide receiver Kyren Lacy has passed away in Houston at the age of 25, according to Jacques Doucet of WAFB.


Lacy was arrested on charges related to a fatal car crash that occurred in December 2024, which killed a 78-year-old man. Lacy was accused of negligent homicide, felony hit-and-run with death, and reckless operation of a vehicle.

Lacy was not invited to the NFL Combine because of the accident, and his legal situation put his potential NFL career in doubt.

Lacy, a native of Thibodaux, La., played his first two seasons at UL-Lafayette and transferred to LSU in 2022, where he played the last three seasons.

Lacy started in all 12 games last year, catching 58 receptions for 866 yards and nine touchdowns.

During his college career, he totaled 162 receptions for 2360 yards and 26 touchdowns.

These comments about he should be dead are sickening to read. Can 2 things not be true. Tragic that he killed someone unintentionally and also tragic that a young man killed himself. 2 families lost loved ones and are hurting. Nobody wins

The lack of sympathy and or empathy from people on this board unfortunately isn't surprising.

That is the world today. As a society we have list all empathy, morals, etc. Two families that need prayer and positive wishes for what they are going thru.

The pressure of knowing 100,000,000+ know you accidentally killed ex-military. Probably hundreds of thousands condemning online. Had a $40 million contract lined up, got pulled in an instant. His entire sure dream, was all of the sudden far-fetched. Which in honestly, he may have done 6 months to 1 year at most for negligent homicide *IF FOUND GUILTY*. He still had a chance to maybe get into the NFL. That pressure of knowing 100 million knew, all the online hate. He's 23 years old. It got to him. So sad.

May God have Mercy on his soul ????RIP To everyone out there, if the rumors of the cause are true. This is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. That young man had a lot of Life in front of him and now his family is devastated. That’s why is so important to talk to someone if you’re in pain. God Bless.

Cheeto, gtfoh troll. Kyren losing his life as a 25 year old kid is tragic, just as much as the lives that were lost in the car accident he was involved in. Both can be true...life matters.

Your sentiment and hatred is a BIG part of the problems we face in society today.

He didn't "pass away." This was not a graceful death. Likely, a suicide, according to some reports. Lacy must have know his court date Monday would not go well. Simply a tragic story, including the 87-year-old man killed in the hit-and-run for which Lacy was likely at fault. Poor kid should have been a high NFL draft pick. His life was unraveling at age 24. Not a popular thing to write, but we all know it's true.

These are the words of a scumbag. Try to find it in your rotten soul to have some sympathy for his family.

You aren't complex enough mentally to care about two things. Got it.

What the hell is wrong with this Cheeto dude? I'm perfectly capable of holding two thoughts in my head. The people who were harmed by him deserve my sympathy to be sure. That doesn't mean I should be dancing over his death

But no prayers to the family of the man he killed?

I was downvote #4.

Stop making simple and asinine assumptions. Yes people prayed for the family of the other man. People are allowed to pray for Kyren and his family if they wish to, because this is the news today.

No one said this, what the Hell are you talking about. If you would have been paying attention in the past, lots of people on this site have mentioned that. Just trying to start some controversy that’s not there. Go away with this shite.

He was due in court Monday on the negligent manslaughter charge plus another of lesser but still very serious charges.

Given that he fled the scene it is reasonable he would flee out of apprehension of prison so quite possibly no bond before trial.

What a disastrous series of events, especially for the unwary decedent, who was 87.

I feel terrible for his family. The turmoil he endured must have been immense, that is tragic. I always posted against his bad behavior, with this news I now feel some guilt for being outspokenly critical. RIP to Kyren

Horrible situation. Suicide is a permanent fix to a temporary problem. My wife and I have both lost parents to this . His worldly problems are over but they are only beginning for his family. It’s a terrible thing to go through.
