The Louisiana State Police published new video Tuesday from the deadly pileup involving LSU wide receiver Kyren Lacy, defending its investigation of the crash as "supported by facts," after Lacy's lawyer claimed to have new evidence exonerating the late college football star.

Lacy, 24, died by suicide on April 12 as prosecutors were pushing a case against him in a fatal crash on Dec. 17 on Louisiana Highway 20 in Lafourche Parish, which is about an hour outside New Orleans.

"The Louisiana State Police is committed to providing a thorough and objective investigation grounded in science and supported by facts," state police said in a release Tuesday.

"While we recognize that external narratives may arise, often based on selective information, we urge the public to rely on the full body of facts," the release said.

At the start of an 11½-minute video presentation, Col. Robert Hodges, superintendent of the state police, said the probe was ongoing.
