Louisiana Tech running back Tyrone Duplessis was found dead Thursday morning at his off-campus apartment.Hazel Woods, the chief investigator for the Lincoln Parish coroner's office, said the cause of death was not yet known and an autopsy is pending. Ruston police Lt. Tim Parker said authorities are not investigating at this time and are awaiting the coroner's report."Tyrone was a valuable part of this football family," Bulldogs coach Sonny Dykes said. "This is a tragic, senseless loss, but he made a lasting impact on this team, university and everyone that knew him."The 21-year-old Duplessis, a third-year student from New Orleans, recently completed his sophomore season of eligibility.Dykes has informed his players of Duplessis' death and the team held a meeting to discuss it. The university has also made grief counselors available to the team."We were deeply saddened," Louisiana Tech president Dan Reneau said. "Tyrone was not only a valuable member of our football program, but much more importantly, he was a valued member of the Tech Family. This is a painful loss for our campus community and our thoughts and prayers are with his friends and family."
