Former LSU receiver and 2025 draft prospect Kyren Lacy died last weekend, by suicide. The incident happened on the weekend before a grand jury was scheduled to hear evidence regarding a December 2024 automobile accident that had Lacy accused of hit and run and negligent homicide in connection with the death of 78-year-old Herman Hall.

Less than a week after Kyren Lacy, the former LSU standout and 2025 NFL Draft prospect, died of an apparent suicide while being pursued by authorities, the late wide receiver's agent, Rocky Arceneaux, criticized the NFL for prematurely judging his client and intensifying the pressure the 24-year-old Lacy felt in the lead-up to his death.

Former LSU receiver Kyren Lacy​, who was facing criminal charges stemming from a fatal car accident in December, has died at age 24, a university athletics spokesman said.
