FORMER NBA player Rasual Butler and his wife, Leah LaBelle, were killed in a pre-dawn single vehicle crash in Los Angeles on Wednesday, authorities said. Butler, 38, and the 31-year-old LaBelle both died at the scene after the roll-over accident reported at 2:30am in the suburb of Studio City, Los Angeles police said. Police said Butler lost control of his Range Rover, which struck three parking meters and hit a wall before flipping over twice. Butler was drafted by the Miami Heat in the second round of the 2002 NBA draft. He went on to play for the Heat, Hornets, Clippers, Bulls, Raptors, Pacers, Wizards and Spurs from 2002 to 2016. LaBelle, a Canadian-born singer, was a contestant on the reality television show “American Idol” in 2004. The couple lived in Studio City.
