Erica Blasberg, a 25-year-old golfer on the LPGA Tour, was found dead Sunday afternoon at her home in Henderson, Nev., a police spokesman told Golfweek magazine.
The circumstances are currently under investigation, her agent and authorities said Monday. No cause of death was disclosed, according to a spokesman for the Clark County Coroner's Office.
Henderson police spokesman Keith Paul told the Associated Press that officers responded to a 911 call and were dispatched to Blasberg's house around 3 p.m. Sunday. Paul declined to say who made the call since it was part of the investigation.
"At first glance it looks like she might have taken her own life, but at second glance, something is very, very strange about it," Erica's ******, Mel Blasberg, told The Press-Enterprise by phone from Nevada. "We're waiting for the police to make an investigation, it's a pending investigation.
"Either way, I lost her and it's impossible to deal with."
