Stanford goalie Katie Meyer died from suicide on Tuesday. Her grieving parents appeared on the Today Show to talk about their daughter.
"‘Katie, being Katie, was defending a teammate on campus over an incident and the repercussions of her defending that teammate (were possibly resulting in disciplinary action),’ Steven Meyer said on TODAY.
"‘We have not seen that email yet,’ Gina said. ‘She had been getting letters for a couple months. This letter was kind of the final letter that there was going to be a trial or some kind of something. This is the only thing that we can come up with that triggered something.’"

It is early days and those statements lack context but I can’t help but wonder. In what circumstance does “defending a teammate” justify charges of any kind?
