Jackson Vroman, 34, pictured in his playing days, was at his home in Los Angeles County, California, on Monday when he drowned, the coroner's office confirmed. The naturalized American Lebanese player who was friends with a host of celebrities, including Justin Bieber, pictured with him top left in inset picture, and NFL star Reggie Bush, was the 31st pick in the 2004 NBA Draft and went on to play for Phoenix Sun and New Orleans Hornets.

Dan Bilzerian, a popular social media figure dubbed the 'King of Instagram', first revealed the cause of his death. 'He was sitting down, he got up to go inside the house, tripped on the stairs, hit his head and drown [sic] in the pool,' he wrote. May his soul rest in peace.
