Erica Blasberg Suicide

Erica Blasberg

LPGA golfer Erica Blasberg, who passed away about 3 1/2 months ago, appears to have committed suicide. Blasberg, who was only 25 years old, died at her home in Las Vegas, NV on May 9. When she was found, by Dr. Thomas Hess, there was a plastic bag over her head.

The Clark County coroner’s office informed the press that Blasberg died of suicide due to asphyxia, combined with the presence of toxic levels of prescription medication in her system, including prescription headache, pain, cough, and anti-anxiety medications.

An arrest warrant has been issued for Dr. Hess for obstruction of justice. He allegedly removed items from Blasberg’s home before authorities had arrived. Hess placed the call to the police department after discovering Blasberg’s body.
