Danish NBA prospect Rasmus Larsen, who played for Spirou Charleroi in Belgium passed away on at his home Wednesday.
The 20 year-old forward, who didn’t declare for the draft this year, was ranked as the seventh best international prospect born in 1994 by draftexpress. Larsen was expected to be a top pick in the 2016 NBA Draft when he became automatically eligible.
Larsen was discovered by a Belgium’s Spirou Charleroi team official after concerns grew when Larsen didn’t show up for a team meeting. It is still unknown what caused Larsen’s death.
Just spoke with Doug Neustadt, agent for gifted 7-foot Rasmus Larsen, who was found dead in bed. "We have no idea the cause," Neustadt says.
