Nažalost tragične vijesti nam dolaze iz Los Angelesa. Rasual Butler i njegova žena Leah su poginuli u automobilskoj nesreći. Rasual je vozio auto, te izgubio kontrolu i udario u zid. Nakon toga auto se prevrnuo dva puta i pao na parking jednog trgovačkog centra u LA-u. Oboje su poginuli na mjestu. Rasual je bio i više nego solidan NBA igrač. Proveo je u ligi čak 13 godina i promijenio 7 klubova od kojih su posljednji bili San Antonio Spursi.
U karijeri je imao prosjek od 7,5 poena, te 2,4 skoka, a najbolja sezona mu je bila 2009/10 u Clippersima kada je postizao 11,9 poena, te odigrao sve 82 utakmice. Također je nastupao i u ovogodišnjoj Big 3 Ligi. Mnogi NBA igrači su izrazili svoje žaljenje i sućut nad ovim tragičnim događajem.
I will always remember the time we shared together as teammates, you were the big brother. I appreciate the advice you shared, not just about basketball but life. Sending my deepest condolences to the families of Rasual and Leah. May you both rest in peace. pic.twitter.com/O4RgQ47PwA

Saddened by the news and the loss of Rasual Butler and his wife Leah. Talk about a great dude and family man. I know he had many stops during his 13 year NBA journey, but he was beloved becasue of his work ethic in Indiana. New guardian Angels..
