any news on this?
This is such a shock! how tragic! she was so young beautiful, talented athlete. Condolences to the family, and certainly a great loss to all of us here in Nevada and the world. Goodbye Erica, rest in peace..
Very sad indeed.
This is terrible. Hope she died peacefully.
per the Press Enterprise, "At first glance it looks like she might have taken her own life, but at second glance, something is very, very strange about it," said Erica's father, Mel Blasberg, 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."
Heartbreaking to lose such a young, talented life so unexpectedly. My condolences to Miss Blasberg's family.
So sad.
It amazes me that ESPN has more knowledge and coverage on this then we do and it happened in LV's own backyard.
Very sad. Erica Blasberg is in my thoughts and her family are in my prayers.
Although Mel Blasberg has now retracted his remarks suggesting a suicide he has stated that there were no obvious signs of trauma.
