Jackson Vroman, a former second-round pick of the Chicago Bulls in the 2004 NBA Draft, was found dead in his swimming pool at his Los Angeles County home Monday morning, but his friend Dan Bilzerian, an infamous social media star, bemoaned poor reporting online.

Some outlets had initially reported he died from injuries sustained in a car accident, but a recent update from The Des Moines Register reported the cause of death is not immediately known. Bilzerian was posting on social media his version of events.
