An official cause of Bryant's death was not announced as of Tuesday morning. La Salle University, where Bryant played and coached, said in a statement that Bryant "was a beloved member of the Explorer family and will be dearly missed."
Longtime Philadelphia-area basketball coach Fran Dunphy, who currently is the head coach at La Salle, told the Philadelphia Inquirer that Bryant recently suffered a massive stroke.
