Former NBA Player Found Dead After Tripping and Falling Into Pool – Gawker

The Phoenix Suns passed along their condolences through the social media service after the Lebanese team’s tweet before Iowa State’s athletics department posted a release of the death, citing the Twitter reports but not independently confirming the news.

“Love you bro I miss you already can’t believe your gone I pray that God has mercy on your soul at the gates of Heaven and we meet again in the after life,” Bush captioned an Instagram photo in which he can be seen in the mid of a beach volleyball game with Jackson.

The Lebanese basketball team also wrongly tweeted that Vroman was in a vehicle accident.

Vroman’s college, Iowa State University, also reported the news of his tragic death on Monday through its website.

Vroman’s father, Brett, played for the Utah Jazz for a season and spent 12 years playing overseas.

Vroman came to ISU in 2002 from Snow Community College, where he was an All-American. He was very outgoing and just a really kindhearted kid.

Vroman, while with New Orleans, defends Dwayne Wade of the Miami Heat in 2005.

The Phoenix Suns took him No. 31 overall in 2004 after a draft-day trade with the Chicago Bulls, and Vroman was traded a short time later to the then-New Orleans Hornets.

Vroman also played ball in the worldwide arena in countries including South Korea, China, Spain, and the Philippines. He played last season in Puerto Rico.

Bizarrely, Dan Bilzerian, a popular social media figure dubbed the “King of Instagram” seems to exactly know how Jackson Vroman died, reported the Daily Mail. Notably, he was naturalized as a citizen of Lebanon to play for the squad in the FIBA Asia Championship in 2009.
