    She sent a text to her caddie a few hours before she died.
    This is a strange case.
     
  2. I don't think so.

    Suicide.

    Her dad has since claimed he never told the newspaper it was suicide. I don't know what to garner from that, but I suspect more investigating will have to go on before they commit to a cause.

    Certainly someone else could have sent the text. You never know.
     
  4. Your right, you don't.
    But the most plausible explanation is usually the correct one. In this case, that's suicide.
    I don't doubt dad said it, but he probabaly caught heat from the family, which typically has a very tough time accepting such things - dad included.

    Wouldn't we know if they found a note by now?
     
  6. If there was a note, this would have been wrapped up pretty quickly.

    Perhaps there wasn't one.
    I would lean toward suicide too. I agree with your assessment of the father's comments too. Probably in denial over what happened.

    I have to wonder if the symptoms of depression were there, but were never acted upon. Sad story all around.

    What was the method of death? Pills? Hanging?

    This is too weird. Also, it appears by the way the story reads that TMZ got ahold of a search warrant on the doctor's house. I wonder if how much someone got paid for that?

    Aren't search warrants public records? Sounds like TMZ did the work no one else did.
