Wikipedia:
Kathryn Diane Meyer (January 20, 2000 – March 1, 2022) was an American soccer player who played as goalkeeper for the Stanford University’s Stanford Cardinal women’s soccer team.
Meyer was born in Burbank, California, and grew up in Newbury Park, California, with her parents Steven and Gina Meyer. Meyer was a middle child with older sibling Samantha, and younger sibling Siena. In 2015, she was featured in the Soccer Superstar reality show on Nickelodeon.
Autopsy:
Meyer initially attended Newbury Park High School for her first three years of high school, before transferring to Century Academy for her senior year. During her time at Newbury Park High School, she was also the kicker for the varsity football team for two seasons.
In addition to her school team, she played for club teams Real So Cal and Eagles Soccer Club, as well as the U16 girls’ national team.
Cause of Death:
Meyer was found dead in her dorm room in Crothers Hall, a residential housing building on the Stanford campus, on March 1, 2022.
When asked about the situation surrounding her death, Meyer’s mother said that she had received an email about disciplinary action, and that “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 was the only thing we can come up with that triggered something.”
How did:
“There is anxiety and there is stress to be perfect, to be the best, to be number one,” Katie’s mother, Gina Meyer, said, choking back tears during aninterview on “TODAY” days after her daughter’s death.
Watching Gina Meyer and her husband cry was almost unbearable. Their grief left me feeling as helpless as I did four years ago when a friend’s son died by suicide only days after Noah was finally discharged after spending three months in a psychiatric hospital.
