Erica Blasberg: LPGA's Stars Death And Doctor Thomas Hess Confusing

Erica Blasberg

Erica Blasberg, the LPGA star who's May death was called a suicide this week, is really still the focus of much confusion. How did her friend Doctor Thomas Hess come to enter the house to find her reportedly drugged and dead? What did the suicide note that he claimed to have removed read?

On Tuesday, Hess was charged with obstruction of justice, a misdemeanor with a $1,000 fine and a six-month maximum jail sentence, if he's found guilty. Hess posted bail and was released that day. But what was never explained was just what the note said? Does a note exist?

Golf On The Down Side

It's possible Erica was plainly not happy with her golf life. At the time of her passing, Erica Blasberg was 25 and had logged six years on the LPGA Tour. Blasberg's best season was in 2008 when she gained $113,000 in earnings and had her only top 10 finish in an LPGA event. Blasberg played her last LPGA tournament in April of this year, but her 44th place finish was of some concern.

Why her game was suffering is not entirely known. Also not known is the extent of her relationship with Hess.

Stay tuned.
