Syracuse basketball standout Fab Melo has died unexpectedly in Brazil.

According to reports out of the country, 26-year-old Melo died Saturday in his sleep ... an official cause is not yet known. Melo recently began a career playing professionally in Brazil, where he was from.

Melo played two seasons for The Orange and was named the Big East Defensive Player of The Year after his sophomore season. He was drafted by The Boston Celtics 22nd overall in the 2012 NBA draft but struggled as a pro.

Legendary Syracuse basketball coach Jim Boeheim is adamant he's NOT cheating on his wife -- and quite frankly, his family is sick of the rumors.

On Friday, the family of one of Jose's friends killed in the accident filed a negligence and personal injury lawsuit against his estate ... reports say the other victim will file Monday.

A source close to Jose's camp tells us Jose's pregnant girlfriend is due any day and the families filing the lawsuits are well aware of that. Our source says they believe the suits were just filed now to play hardball with Jose's family during an already difficult time.

As for the crash ... the investigation is still ongoing, and it has not yet been determined who was driving the boat when it hit a jetty.
