Boxing legend Roy Jones Jr has announced that his son, DeAndre, has died by suicide.
DeAndre, who would have turned 33 this year, was one of Jones’ three sons who he shared with wife Natlyn.
He had a twin brother DeShaun and an older brother Roy III.
In a statement, Jones said: ‘Unfortunately my son DeAndre took his life Saturday.
‘I’m so thankful that god allowed me to come home Friday night to spend the last night of his life with me and the family.
‘I know a lot of people are going through tough times right now, but nothing is worth taking your own life. God gives it and god should be the one to take it away.
‘Please respect our privacy while my family and I process this loss. Thank you for the love and support.’
