Another strange death for a former UCLA player.

“Former UCLA basketball player Billy Knight was found on a Phoenix roadway early Sunday morning and pronounced dead shortly afterwards by the Phoenix Fire Department. Knight was 39 years old.

The news of Knight's death comes just days after another former UCLA player, Tyler Honeycutt, apparently fatally shot himself during a standoff with police in Los Angeles on Friday. Honeycutt played for UCLA from 2009-11.

Before Knight died, he posted a video to the internet several days before titled "I am Sorry Lord," wherein he said he didn't feel he belonged on Earth. In a shaking voice, Knight also expressed his regrets over his "life of sin."

Authorities say there has been no sign of foul play in Knight's death. At this time it's unclear his cause of death, but it will soon be determined by the medical examiner in Arizona's Maricopa County, according to ESPN.”

Sad to hear, sounds like a very troubled man.

Fame does not ensure happiness, and both can be very fleeting things. Inner peace is an elusive state of being sometimes.
