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 2:30 am 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.
