Former Toronto Raptor Rasual Butler and his wife Leah LaBelle died Wednesday morning in a single vehicle car crash, the Los Angeles County coroner's has confirmed.

The couple's Range Rover was traveling at high rate of speed on a Los Angeles street when the vehicle lost control, hit multiple parking meters, slammed into a wall, overturned and ended up in a parking lot, authorities said.

Both Butler, 38, and his wife were pronounced dead at the scene, according to Los Angeles Police.

The Raptors and the rest of the NBA community have taken to Twitter to pay their respects to Butler and his wife.

Butler, the 53rd overall pick of the 2002 draft, appeared in 34 games for the Raptors during the 2011-12 season. He also played with the Miami Heat, New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets, Los Angeles Clippers, Chicago Bulls, Indiana Pacers, Washington Wizards, and San Antonio Spurs over 12 NBA seasons.
