The father and namesake of up-and-coming LSU defensive back Kary Vincent died Wednesday, according to a report.

Kary Vincent Sr. was 49 years old. The cause of death was unknown, according to the report from panews.com, but the former teacher and coach in their hometown of Port Arthur, Texas, had battled pneumonia twice in 2018, the second bout forcing him into a coma that nearly claimed his life.
