The parents of recently deceased Stanford soccer player Katie Meyer filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Stanford on Wednesday, with the family saying the 21-year-old goalie was distressed about facing discipline over an incident from August 2021.
Meyer took her own life in late February. The civil lawsuit was filed Wednesday in Santa Clara County Superior Court. USA Today obtained the lawsuit.
Her parents argue in the lawsuit that the notice came"after-hours" while Meyer was"alone in her room without any support or resources." The lawsuit says that Meyer responded to the email"expressing how 'shocked and distraught' she was over being charged and threatened with removal from the university" and received a follow-up email that scheduled a meeting three days later.
