The mother of Kyren Lacy, the LSU wide reciver who died of suicide last week, has broken her silence on the death of her son at the age of 24.
Lacy was found dead in his car after being pursued by police in Houston following a call from a family member who said he had fired a gun into the ground in an arguement.
Lacy, 24, crashed his car and when officers approached the vehicle, he was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
His mother, Kandace Washington, has shared funeral details on her Facebook page and spoke about the death of her son for the first time, saying: ‘I am absolutely heartbroken by the passing of my son.
‘There are no words to tully express the pain our family is feeling right now. I know that I havent said much but I wanted to let you all know that I am doing as good as I can right now.
‘I want to thank each and every one of you who has reached out-through messages, calls, social media, and more. I see your texts, your words of love, and your offers of support. It means more than I can say.

‘Many of you have asked how you can help or show your love, so I wanted to share that we’ve created an official gofundme dedicated to our son. There, you’ll find ways to honor his memory and support our family during this incredibly difficult time.
‘Please continue to keep us in your prayers. We feel the love, and we need it now more than ever’
The 24-year-old was already facing several felony charges following a fatal car crash on December 17 that claimed the life of 78-year-old Louisiana native Herman Hall.
Two days later, Lacy declared for the NFL Draft, sparking backlash.
