A wrongful death lawsuit was filed by the parents of a soccer player who died by suicide.
Meyer was accused of spilling coffee on a football player who was accused of molesting a female soccer player. Meyer was defending her teammate at the time, according to her father.
The lawsuit states that on the night of her death, she was negligent and recklessly sent a formal notice that contained threatening language.
Meyer's mom said that her daughter was in a good mood on the night of February 28th. They were working on her plans for spring break, which included a stop in Southern California before she went to Mexico with friends.
According to her parents, Meyer received a six-page email from the school notifying her of a hearing.
She was found dead in her dorm room the next day. The manner of death was determined by an autopsy.
The lawsuit states that the reckless nature and manner of submission to the girl caused her to take her own life. While alone in her room without any support or resources, she took her own life because of the shocking and deeply distressing information she received.
Dee Mostofi denied the claims in a statement.
Mostofi wrote that the community continues to grieve and sympathize with her family for the unimaginable pain they've suffered.
We don't agree with the idea that the university is responsible for her death. Some of the allegations made in the filing are false and misleading and we are aware of that.
Meyer, a senior studying international relations and history, made two saves in the penalty shoot out to help the team win the national title. She was waiting to be accepted into the law school of her choice, and was a part of the prestigious Mayfield fellows program.
