Yesterday was the beginning of a long mourning period for Justin Bieber, Reggie Bush, and anyone else who knew former Phoenix Suns and New Orleans Hornets player Jackson Vroman. The 34-year-old was found dead yesterday in his home's pool after a fatal drowning accident.
Though initial reports claimed Vroman passed in a car accident, "King of Instagram" Dan Bilzerian - a close friend of the man commonly referred to as "The Gentle Giant" - tweeted out what actually happened to diffuse any rumors. "He was sitting down, he got up to go inside the house, tripped on the stairs, hit his head and drown[ed] in the pool," Dan wrote, followed by "#RIP."
Since news of his death hit the Internet many have shared their condolences and revisited memories of the man "everyone loved." Vroman had followed in the footsteps of his father, Brett, who played for the Utah Jazz in the early 80's.
May he rest in peace.
