I’m so sorry. May I ask, was he ill? You of course don’t have to answer.

Hits a little harder than I thought it would. Prayers to his family and all of the tigers out there. My little boy is going to be crushed. Hopefully someone is inspired to open up. We make everyone keep it all in today.

A lot of people trashing him online and it’s just so sad man.

Kyren undoubtedly deserved to pay legally for what he did, that is fact.

But at the end of the day, people need to learn to separate his situation from murder/something done intentionally or even intoxication manslaughter. He made an absolutely moronic choice but he ain’t some killer.

Again, not excusing what he did in the slightest but making this kid out to be some sick murderer is BS.

Just heartbreaking to know the kind of state he’s been in just sitting in his guilt for months knowing what he just threw away.

RIP 2 and prayers up to his family.

I have a hard time reconciling intentional carelessness on the road that leads to a incident 3rd party dying and calling it a "mistake." By definition that is a mistake I guess but it is a horrible tragedy that led to many lives being ruined/impacted.

I just can't sit here and call it a mistake especially because we all know that he had off the field issues and his on the field antics show someone that despite being 24 was incredibly immature and came from a rough background. Just because he caught some TD passes doesn't mean he wasn't in the wrong.

That said, I would have loved for him to serve time (if found guilty) and turn to God or reconciliation with all the time he would have had to think about his decision. It is an incredibly shitty situation but I fear it is one where a person has had no consequences for his actions growing up and through his college career.

The situation is more complex than some are leading on here (the frick Kyren he's a pos crowd) but deserves less empathy and sympathy than some are giving off here (the it was one mistake crowd)

Well maybe that along with all the hateful nonsense he has to read about himself from people like the clowns on this website.That along with all the people who supposedly cared about him along with fans turning their back on him.

RIP Kyren…

Although people on this site are idiots much of the time, I would imagine the people on here were about the last thing on his mind. Sadly, he caused the death of an elderly man due to driving recklessly and then fled the scene. Two days after that he did the usual extended social media post that guys send when they declare for the NFL. So of course, once he was arrested for the incident, people were going to respond due to his seemingly callous actions.

Life as he knew it and what he thought his future would be were over. That combined with the guilt of what he did probably pushed him to a place where he felt dead inside with no hope for a brighter tomorrow. In the end, he paid the ultimate price. It's sad for his family and friends. Just a sad situation all around.

This is sad man. I was afraid of this happening knowing how emotional Kyren was. He was a man who felt all his emotions like when he cried when he was on his recruiting visit inside Tiger Stadium when Frank Wilson was in his ear telling him that this is where dreams come true while having his arm around him. He got very emotional when he got flagged for wiping out Malik Nabers record vs Texas A&M and Malik had to tell him in the locker room that he wasn’t worried about all of that and that he was still his brother and he loved him. He was immature but I have seen him make time for kids to make them happy and he was a good person.

He made a very bad decision driving reckless causing a man to die that night and caused pain to that man’s family. I pray for that man’s family and I pray for Kyren’s family today. Having a family member commit suicide 10 years ago, I pray no family has to go through that and I just can’t imagine the pain that someone goes through to make that decision. Terrible all around on the whole ordeal with multiple families affected by it.

I can agree with this up to this point (per Louisiana State Trooper Report):

Following the crash, Lacy drove around the crash scene and fled south on LA Hwy 20 without stopping to render aid, call emergency services, or report his involvement in the crash.

The minute he chose not to stop and render aid, call 911, to do anything necessary to help he was a murderer.

He chose to flee instead of help. That choice is the primary reason Lacy was facing serious criminal charges that ruined his career moving forward.

We thought he just had the winter blues. I got on his laptop after his death and two days before he was googling sleeping pills and the day before he googled psychosis. He never had a history of depression or mental illness. Something just spiraled to a bad place his last couple of days.

Yeah I get, honestly inexcusable.

Look I’m not defending what he did, but I just know he was freaking out in the moment and panicked hard. Probably relived that moment every day up until his death and beat himself up over the fact that he fled instead of staying on scene.

I was alittle more salty in my reply but basically the same of what you said. It got whacked. Smh.

In a rational mind yes, but it is easy to be on the outside and not truly know if you would have panicked in that situation or not.

But if it makes you feel better to think he was the devil for that, then do you.

And people can spare me with the part that people in the military are that age so that shows how mature they are. I know a lot of dysfunctional people that HAD to go to the military because they were so screwed up at that age and had made plenty of terrible choices.

Sad situation all around

These are the same people that do 90 on the Interstate and tailgate, flashing headlights when a person doesn't move.
They are the ones that go out drinking, then drive home, kids in the backseat, but it is ok because they know how to drive drunk.
They are worthless, miserable people that only get their jollies from making others miserable as well.
They preach their hypocritical gospel, all the while judging the world.

This is so, so sad. Prayers for his family, friends and teammates as they process this grief. No matter how bad life may seem there is always hope for a better future. So sad.

What a bizarre response. Total deflection.

I caused a serious accident a long time ago. I was at fault. I had minimal damage to my car, but caused serious damage to the car I hit. The only thought I had in my head immediately was to see if they were ok. I never for one second, thought about fleeing the scene.

So, yes, I do know what I’d do in that situation, because I was in it. Most people are like me. Most people don’t flee after causing an accident.
