In an emotional interview, the parents of Stanford University soccer star Katie Meyer are struggling to understand why their daughter died by suicide this week.
"The last couple days are like a parent's worst nightmare and you don't wake up from it," Gina said as she choked up, sitting beside her husband Steve. "So, it's just horrific."
"She was excited," Gina said. "She had a lot on her plate. She had a lot going on. But she was happy. She was in great spirits." "We are exceedingly saddened to hear about the death of Katie Meyer, a beloved, talented, and respected Stanford student, athlete, and Santa Clara County resident," the coroner's office said in a statement. "The Medical Examiner-Coroner extends sincerest condolences to the family, friends, and fans of Katie Meyer."Thousands poured onto Maloney Field, the home of Stanford soccer, for a vigil to remember the star athlete the night after she died.
Meyer's fierce competitiveness helped Stanford win its third NCAA women's soccer championship in 2019.
