LPGA Golfer Found Dead at 25.



According to Golf.com,

Erica Blasberg, a professional golfer with the LPGA was found dead in her Henderson, Nevada home on Sunday. "This is a death investigation and it is ongoing." said Keith Paul, spokesperson of the Henderson Police Department about the former Pac-10 Player of the Year. The department has not yet said if they expect foul play, but the Clark County Coroner is waiting on blood and tissue tests to make a final ruling on the cause of death, which could take up to six weeks.

Blasberg's agent made a statement Monday ," "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. This
is a painful loss, we feel it in our hearts and we will miss her."

Blasberg's family has scheduled a May 19th memorial service.
