Self inflicted???

WOW. Sad.

[Das Texan]

Coward.

[TDMVPDPOY]

wtf 6kids u sure man?

[chrisrod2008]

His family reported him missing a week ago and the last thing he did was go by his ex-wife's house hang out with the kids and then went to kill himself.

[mountainballer]

how sad. 34 years old, 6 kids, has made 55 million in his career. one would think this guy is lucky.

[DesignatedT]

So would they.

[8FOR!3]

Coward.

I hate to say it, but with six kids I agree with this. Still, RIP. Still very sad.

[Trill Clinton]

Rip

[The Btown Spur]

RIP. More to life than money

[Kori Ellis]

RIP and God Bless his children.

The fact that they got a 911 call from his cell phone around the time he went missing, and that he had large sums of money on him at that time, leads me to believe maybe it wasn't self-inflicted... maybe foul play. But I guess they'll figure it out from the crime scene.

[Bandit2981]

He didn't commit suicide, Yahoo reports he was shot multiple times.

[Obstructed_View]

Yeah wiki said that he had multiple gunshot wounds and was robbed of a large amount of cash a few hours ago. Didn't know if that was credible or not.

[DesignatedT]

ohh damn.

[lefty]

RIP :depressed















But how the fuck is that related to the Spurs?

Plus there is already a thread in the RIGHT forum

[cheguevara]

rest in peace homes

Not this again :rolleyes

[lefty]

Not this again :rolleyes
Sorry :(

[timvp]

It's a rather large F' up to circulate a story that he killed himself before taking the time to count the number of bullet entries. Then again, I guess that's better than the media totally ignoring the story like it had been.

[Das Texan]

Well I guess I'll retract my coward statement.


Fuck you media.



May Mr. Wright rest in peace and may they bring his killers to justice.

[EricB]

Damn.

Should be an interesting case to follow.

[ohmwrecker]

I bet that guy who called him a coward feels like a real asshole right about now.


Edit: Sorry. dude. I didn't see your retraction.

[Leonard Curse]

i knew it if you look back onthe first post on him missing here i automatically felt he had been killed. im not saying im a psychic but it was crazy feeling when i saw his pic (never felt that before) i knew he was dead. his poor kids are going to have a very hard road ahead of them. i bet this had to do with a drug/blackmarket deal gone bad. rest in peace

[Sean Cagney]

money cant solve everything, rip

As hollywood and so on has proven to us time and time again! I am blessed I feel being here and happy while they have mills and kill themselves :( RIP.

[4>0rings]

money cant solve everything, rip
Yes it can.

Too bad so sad. If it was self inflicted... next time think about your kids other than how you feel.

[Kori Ellis]

Yes it can.

It wasn't - he was shot multiple times.

[4>0rings]

It wasn't - he was shot multiple times.Well then it's a sad day in the world when people feel the need to shoot other people to solve their problems. Hopefully they can pull through.

[Budkin]

Christ that is horrible.

[lowdown]

Rip

[50 cent]

:(

[Dunc n Dave]

RIP, Lorenzen. Hope they find the guy(s) who killed him and put them away for life...

[The Btown Spur]

This story isnt going to get any better. I really hope his family can find some peace.

[timtonymanu]

I really didnt know much about Lorenzen Wright but from what I've read he was a hard worker and he seemed like such a great family man.

RIP Lorenzen!!!

Hope the best for his family.

[MI21]

That's shit.

RIP.

[RobinsontoDuncan]

RIP :depressed

Dude, seriously? Shut up and get a life

[baseline bum]

Horrible story. I always liked Lorenzen, and wondered what happened with his career.

[lebomb]

I just read online that Lorenzen dialed 911 and the operator heard multiple gunshots when she was on the phone. :depressed

He was shot 12x ............. so I doubt it was self inflicted.

[20beastie45]

Very Sad.....RIP

[bigdog]

RIP Lo. I was always a fan. It will be interesting to see what comes out of this case. No matter the situation, though, its very sad.

[Deimosfobos]

Rip :(

[Proxy]

Well I guess I'll retract my coward statement.


Fuck you media.

What the hell is wrong with you? Whether he had killed himself or not, it's not your place to judge him when you have no idea the situation.

[Samr]

I'm really hoping I don't open up a can of worms with this, but.... this serves as evidence that perhaps NBA players should cary licensed concealed weapons, or if nothing else really amp up their security.

RIP Lorenzen. I'm terribly familiar with the after-effects of this kind of stuff, and I feel absolutely HORRIBLE for his kids.

[lefty]

Dude, seriously? Shut up and get a life

Next time don't be so quick to shit on the name of a dead man.

Identifying a dead body as a possible family member must be so difficult

I can't imagine what you can go through in moments like this

[austN Spur]

sorry for those kiddos. on the other topic though

having known someone who left a kid behind and wife after killing himself I can understand how someone would call a person who takes his own life (suicide) a coward.

the guy i know was the biggest bully in 7-8 grade and i hated when he was around. he would knee us in the thigh and it would hurt so bad when i was young. for some guys the bullying went on into high school. I hated him. Then as a young adult this same bully takes the coward way out and kills himself and leaves his family behind when times got hard.

Details on Lorenzen Wright's death

Sherra Robinson Wright -- Lorenzen Wright's ex-wife -- had her home visited in recent weeks by three unknown men who had guns tucked into their waistband

Some details are beginning to emerge regarding the death of former NBA player Lorenzen Wright.

The police have ruled Wright's death a homicide by gunshot, but they have yet to name any suspects in the case.

The paper reported that Sherra Robinson Wright -- Lorenzen Wright's ex-wife -- had her home visited in recent weeks by three unknown men who had guns tucked into their waistband. The men wanted to know if her ex-husband, 34-year-old Lorenzen Wright, was home visiting his six children. When Sherra Wright told them no, the three men drove away. After this occurred, Sherra Robinson Wright quickly told her divorce attorney, Gail Mathes, about the encounter.

The Commercial Appeal is also reporting that it is unknown whether the three gunmen who appeared at Sherra Wright's house had any involvement in Lorenzen Wright's death.

I was aware of that I read the thread. I said on the other topic:wow because everyone was shitting on the guy that called him a coward.

[howbouthemspurs]

damn that really does suck... I feel so bad for his kids

[cornbread]

everyone was shitting on the guy that called him a coward.

Rightfully so. You can say whatever you want about suicide but running a dead man's name through the mud is the move of a coward. Cowardly to the bone—especially when you're perpetuating factual inaccuracies of how he died.
