There are no words to describe the sense of a tragic loss like this,especially when it is your only child.Her parents have to be totally devastated by this,and my prayers go out to them.
The whole thing doesn't make any sense to me.There are reports surfacing that she may have had alcohol problems,and she did live near Vegas,where alcohol is served freely by the casinos there,if you are gambling.Was she also a gambler?...It appears that someone found an old tweet she made where she made some sort of bet about two California college football teams playing each other beating the spread,and she lost on it.But just because she happened to make that one bet doesn't make her a hardcore gambler.
There are also reports about her being depressed because of her standing in the LPGA.She had to qualify for tournaments instead of just being exempt for them.Since she was so good at golf getting to the LPGA on her golf skills(She won a lot of Future's Tour events and easily qualified for the tour),the letdown on actually reaching the tour and not playing very well once you reached there might have had some effect on her...You never know.
It really makes no difference now.
