To say someone is selfish for committing suicide is essentially saying they don’t care about the people that love them. This is untrue. It’s not so simple.

No. It’s saying that they care more about their wants and needs than the people that love them.

I think you're confusing selfish act with selfish character. It absolutely is a selfish Act but when people are in that frame of mind they're not forming decisions rationally like you or I might be. I unfortunately have had four different people reasonably close to me commit suicide. They were lost and they didn't see any way out. They were wrong but that's what happens

Sad doesn't even cover this situation. We all knew he was in a tough spot but never thought it would come to this.
I'll remember the Ole Miss GW TD catch by #2. As a player he definitely improved and was fun to watch. Sucks that this is how his story ends.

What were his off the field issues prior to this incident? Celebrations? That’s crap. From all this you can peer into his upbringing & everything about who he was?
That’s complete crap. Kyren was an awesome tiger that was great on the field & had zero incidents off the field during his time here up to the crash. He played with a lot of emotion & it was evident the love he had for LSU.
The accident he allegedly caused ruined a number of lives, including his own. He eventually paid for this mistake with his life. That’s a tragic situation no matter what his potential future prospects were. He deserves every one’s respects for the contributions he provided here. If people feel he doesn’t deserve their sympathies that’s cool, just frick right off with their judgements as that does absolutely nothing for anyone

One mistake seemed to lead to this. One.
As I’ve grown I try to NOT look at the mistakes I make like this.
With real introspection it’s rarely one mistake. It’s a series of mistakes you get away with without any consequences or even realizing it.
It’s good to try and do this because it allows you the opportunity to learn from behaviors and mistakes BEFORE you are hit with the brutal consequences.
Again I try to do this, and often fail. But by the grace of God I hope to do it more often than not.
None of us are perfect and we just hope that our imperfections don’t compound or come to a very acute realization.

Statement from Kyren Lacy’s Lawyer
“ It is with profound sorrow that we confirm the tragic passing of Kyren Lacy. First and foremost, we ask that the public and the media give his family the space and time they need to grieve this unimaginable loss in peace.
Kyren’s was scheduled to have his matter heard before a grand jury tomorrow wherein we were very confident the evidence, after being fully collected and reviewed, would lead to a declination of charges.
From the very beginning, this so-called investigation took on the appearance of an overzealous, targeted effort—what can only be described as a witch hunt—fueled by who Kyren was and the public profile he carried. The decision by the investigating agency to charge him at all, in our view, was not only unjustified, it was disturbing. It’s imperative to understand the Lafourche Parish District Attorney, to this day, has not formally charged Kyren.
Kyren was a young man with immense promise, and he was crushed under the weight of an irresponsible and prejudiced process.
The negative barrage on social media, the circulation of his mugshot by nearly every news outlet rather than a standard photo, the recent civil lawsuit filed against him that named another defendant who mysteriously wasn’t charged with a crime, only him, and the overall tone of coverage painted a deeply biased picture before he ever had the chance to defend himself. There was never a presumption of innocence which was exemplified by the NFL pulling his draft card over mere accusations without affording him the slightest chance to defend himself. The pressure and perception likely became unbearable.
Let us be absolutely clear: This is far from over. We will be demanding a full and transparent review of how this investigation was conducted and why. Those responsible for this gross miscarriage of justice must and will be held accountable.
In the meantime, we again urge everyone to respect the Lacy family’s privacy and allow them the dignity to mourn the loss of their beloved son.

Forgive my ignorance was the crash the result of alcohol or impairment or just reckless driving? Not that any of that matters in terms of what's happened in the last 24 hours. His death is a shame regardless
Posted on 4/13/25 at 12:43 pm to Sterling Archer
This is such a tragic and sad situation all around. When Kyren left the Cajuns and ended up at LSU, I was hoping that BK, staff, and new teammates could take him in and keep an extra eye out for him. And he was able to do some great things on the football field.
I think with the pressure of the NFL draft along with the upcoming trial, he just couldn't take the pressure of what tomorrow would bring especially if he had any kind of mental issues that most of us didn't know about. Sometimes that unknown and doubt causes people to make some very irrational choices. Unfortunately for him, he did just that which is tragic for everyone involved. There is no winner with something like this.

This is where I completely disagree with your opinion. Does Derrius Guice deserve our respect for his misgivings but his contributions for LSU football? I think your logic is flawed. I get it but he allegedly killed a man and drove away. Sorry that stands out more than a couple of TDs being the 3rd WR to BTJ and Nabers.

For Kyren, it unfortunately is.
For scumbag lawyers, I suppose not.

How? Guice didn't take anyone's life. I know that is a shocking thing to say but it is true. Don't get me wrong, Guice is a piece of shite.
My point is that just because someone contributed to LSU in scoring touchdowns doesn't mean we can just look the other way when they do horrendous things as individuals.

Why wouldn’t he be getting a chance to play in NFL? I mean I understand maybe not right away but why not later?
