On Sunday, April 13, 2025, it was reported that Lacy died. His body was found by police. He was found after a police pursuit and is suspected to have died via a self-inflicted gunshot.

The news came over a week away from the NFL Draft, where Lacy was one of the top prospects. However, his legal troubles hindered his draft stock heading into the event.

He was previously arrested for a hit-and-run crash that killed a man and injured several others. Lacy was charged with negligent homicide, felony hit-and-run with death, and reckless operation of a vehicle, and the case was set to continue on Monday, April 14.

Malik Nabers was Kyren Lacy's teammate at LSU in 2022 and 2023. In their second season together, both of them had stellar campaigns. Nabers caught 89 passes for 1,569 yards and 14 touchdowns. Lacy, meanwhile, logged 558 yards (his career high at the time) for an average of 18.6 yards per reception and seven touchdowns.

Lacy had his best season in 2024, catching 58 passes for 866 yards and nine touchdowns. He was going to join Nabers in the NFL before his tragic passing.
