Blasberg's death ruled a suicide

Golf Betting Lines

08/24/2010 - Henderson, NV (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The death of former LPGA Tour player Erica Blasberg has been ruled a suicide by the Clark County Coroner's Office.

The 25-year-old was found dead in her home in Henderson, Nev. on May 9. According to responding police, Blasberg was found with a plastic bag secured over her head.

The coroner ruled the death a suicide due to asphyxia and toxic levels of prescription medication in her system.

Dr. Thomas Hess, Blasberg's personal doctor, is being sought by police on obstruction of justice charges for allegedly removing items from the scene prior to officers arriving.

Among items Hess removed was a suicide note and prescription medication, according to Henderson Police.

Blasberg was in her sixth season on the LPGA Tour. She turned professional in June 2004 and qualified to join the tour a year later.

A native of Southern California, Blasberg was a two-time All-American at the University of Arizona, where she was named NCAA Freshman of the Year and Pac-10 Player of the Year in 2003.

Blasberg had her best year on Tour in 2008, when she earned a career-best tie for eighth at the SBS Open in Hawaii and more than $113,000 in winnings. She had played in only one event this season, the Tres Marias Championship, where she tied for 44th.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds

With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.

Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season.  Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money. 

This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy.  A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.
