Stanford University is dealing with claims that late soccer star Katie Meyer was dealing with possible disciplinary action soon prior to her death.
In an interview with Today on March 4, the moms and dads of the 22- year-old trainee professional athlete, Steve and Gina Meyer, validated that their child “died by suicide,” stating they think Katie was “triggered” by a current e-mail she had actually gotten about dealing with penalty from the school. According to Steve, Kate was “defending a teammate on campus over an incident” prior to her death.
Though the Meyers stated they have actually not seen the e-mail yet, Gina stated that Katie had actually been getting letters about the possible disciplinary action for the previous couple of months and presumed the most recent note “was kind of the final letter that there was going to be a ‘trial’ or some kind of something.”
In reaction, Dee Mostofi, Assistant Vice President of External Communications at Stanford University, informed E! News in a declaration, “We are not able to share information about confidential student disciplinary matters.”
