Josh Maravich, a former LSU basketball player and the son of the legendary Pete Maravich, died Friday, the Tigers announced. He was 42 years old.

The cause of death was not revealed, though he was said to have died at his family home in Covington, Louisiana.

Josh was one of Pete's two children, the other being his older brother Jaeson. Josh was only 5 years old when the NCAA men's all-time leading scorer died of heart failure in a pickup game at age 40, leaving the boys with their mother Jackie.

Despite their father's absence, Josh continued to pursue a basketball career.
