The parents of Katie Meyer, the former Stanford soccer goalie who died by suicide, have sued the university for wrongful death.

the suit states she was facing disciplinary action for allegedly spilling coffee on a Stanford football player while she was riding her bike, according to the complaint filed Wednesday in Santa Clara County Superior Court.

"Stanford’s after-hours disciplinary charge, and the reckless nature and manner of submission to Katie, caused Katie to suffer an acute stress reaction that impulsively led to her suicide,’’ the complaint states. "Katie’s suicide was completed without planning and solely in response to the shocking and deeply distressing information she received from Stanford while alone in her room without any support or resources.

"The Stanford community continues to grieve Katie’s tragic death and we sympathize with her family for the unimaginable pain that Katie’s passing has caused them,'' according to a Stanford email sent to USA Today.

The university killed her?

Ridiculous sue yourselves for not helping your child.

Sad story. The Woke college administration caused the tragedy.

Stevie Wonder coulda seen THIS comin'...

That’s complete crap. Just another money grab. You don’t commit suicide on something like that unless you were already in depression stemming from something else. She had issues prior. Not Stanfords fault.

Parents of ex-Stanford goalie Katie Meyer sue university for wrongful deathThe parents of Katie Meyer, the former Stanford soccer goalkeeper who killed herself in February, have sued the university for wrongful death. No one commits suicide because they got an email absent depression. She was depressed. The family can’t accept that. No surprise. I was depressed for 10 years. Parents never want to see that in their child. They’ll blame everything and everyone to absolve their guilt. Parents still don’t get it.

Sad what grief does making a family become greedy like this. Suicide was HER choice. Not stanfords fault she can’t handle consequences. Sad but that’s reality.
