Erica Blasberg, a 25-year old LPGA golfer, died Sunday in Nevada. Police have not said if any foul play is suspected. The police in Henderson, Nevada, are currently investigating the death of Erica Blasberg.
“That investigation is still pending so we have no cause of death to report at this time,” a spokeswoman for the coroners office in Henderson, Nevada, told Golf Digest.
Blasberg has been on the LPGA Tour since 2005. Her only tournament start this year came just a few weeks ago in Mexico, where she placed 44th.
Blasberg’s agent, Chase Callahan, released this statement to LPGA.com.
“We are devastated to learn of the passing of Erica Blasberg. To most of the world, Erica was known as a professional golfer, but she was more than that. She was a loving daughter to her parents and a compassionate and loyal friend. Erica had a good heart, was extremely kind and very thankful for what she had in her life. She lived out her dream of playing professional golf on the highest level on the LPGA Tour, allowing her to help inspire others. We are proud of Erica for everything she accomplished. This is a painful loss, we feel it in our hearts and we will miss her. Erica would want those close to her to celebrate the life she lived. We ask that you keep Erica and her family in your prayers.”
