Jackson Vroman, a Lebanese basketball player who was drafted by the Chicago Bulls in 2004, was found dead in a pool at his Los Angeles home Monday, the Des Moines Registerreports. He was 34.
Born in Bountiful, Utah, Vroman was the son of Brett Vroman, also a former NBA player who was a member of the Utah Jazz in the early 1980s. After being drafted by the Bulls, Vroman went on to play for the Phoenix Suns and the New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets.
Several early reports, including a tweet from the Lebanese national basketball team, erroneously reported that Vroman was killed in a car crash. His death was also confirmed by the Phoenix Suns on Twitter.
