Eddie Johnson -- a former NBA All-Star turned convicted child sexual predator -- has died, officials confirm.
At the time of his death, the 65-year-old was serving a life sentence in Florida stemming from a 2006 sexual assault of an 8-year-old girl.
Johnson died on Oct. 26 after a battle with an undisclosed illness, but officials didn't confirm his death until this week.
"Fast Eddie" was a solid player for the Atlanta Hawks from 1977 to 1986 -- making two All-Star teams (1980, 1981). He also played for Cleveland and Seattle.
But Johnson had major issues off the court .
