Erica Blasberg Death Ruled a Suicide

Filed under: LPGAThe death of LPGA golfer Erica Blasberg has been ruled a suicide, Henderson Police announced on Tuesday.

Despite the determination, police arrested Dr. Thomas Hess for obstruction of justice. He allegedly removed items from the crime scene before police arrived to find Blasberg's body at her home in suburban Las Vegas on May 9.

"While asphyxia was the primary cause of death, the presence of prescription drugs in Ms. Blasberg's system was a significant factor," County Coroner Michael Murphy said in a statement. "Our thoughts are with her family as they move through this tragedy."

Hess admitted to police that he had removed Blasberg's suicide note and then stopped cooperating with police, complicating the investigation.
