A mass was held in honour of Lorenzo Renou, the promising young AS Monaco basketball player, on Thursday afternoon at Monaco Cathedral.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Princess Charlene wanted to attend the ceremony along with the young man’s family. She was joined by the late young basketball player’s team-mates, players from the Roca Team and members of the club’s staff and management. Many of the Principality’s dignitaries were also present.<\/p>\n

Aged 17, Lorenzo Renou was considered one of Monegasque basketball’s promising players. A hard-working student who came top of his class in ‘Premi\u00e8re STMG’ at the Lyc\u00e9e Albert Ier, he was also fully committed to his dream of becoming a professional player. A former member of Bordeaux \u00c9tudiants Club Basket, he left his native region to join AS Monaco Basket. He played in the Nationale 3 and Espoirs teams.<\/p>\n

The tragedy occurred on the night of Saturday 10 to Sunday 11 May<\/a>, on the A8 motorway, as the team was returning from a match against Terres Froides. The minibus carrying the players and staff was involved in an accident that claimed Lorenzo’s life. Five other people were injured.<\/p>\n\n

The news rocked Monaco. Prince Albert II reacted in an official statement, expressing his “deep sadness” <\/em>and condolences to the young player’s family. A minute’s silence was observed in his honour on Sunday evening before the Betclic Elite match between the Roca Team and Bourg-en-Bresse at the Salle Gaston M\u00e9decin.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, the Monegasque community came together to bid him farewell. Many students from the Lyc\u00e9e Albert I were present at the ceremony. An online fundraiser has been set up for the benefit of Lorenzo’s family.<\/p>\n
