Former NBA Player Found Dead After Tripping and Falling Into Pool
Jackson Vroman, the former NBA player who was found dead at his Los Angeles home Monday morning, drowned in his pool after tripping and hitting his head, according to Vroman’s close friend, the Instagram celebrity Dan Bilzerian.
Initial reports, including a tweet from the Lebanese national basketball team, claimed, incorrectly apparently, that Vroman died in a car accident. An autopsy is scheduled for later in the week, according to the Des Moines Register.
This is a good example of how fucking worthless our media is, these idiots have been saying my friend died in a car accident

Vroman, 34, was a star player for Iowa State before being drafted in the second round by the Chicago Bulls in 2004. After two NBA seasons with the Phoenix Suns and New Orleans Hornets, Vroman played in South Korea, Spain, Lithuania, and Puerto Rico before retiring in 2014.
