The parents of recently deceased Stanford soccer player Katie Meyer filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Stanford on Wednesday, with the family saying the 21-year-old goalie was distressed about facing discipline over an incident from August 2021.

Meyer took her own life in late February. The civil lawsuit was filed Wednesday in Santa Clara County Superior Court. USA Today obtained the lawsuit.

Her parents argue in the lawsuit that the notice came"after-hours" while Meyer was"alone in her room without any support or resources." The lawsuit says that Meyer responded to the email"expressing how 'shocked and distraught' she was over being charged and threatened with removal from the university" and received a follow-up email that scheduled a meeting three days later.

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.

Stanford goalie Katie Meyer faced disciplinary action over coffee incident before suicide: lawsuitStanford goalie Katie Meyer was facing disciplinary action before she tragically took her own life in February, according to a wrongful death lawsuit filed by her parents against the university. Terrible writing. What was the actual timeline of events aside from the suicide lede? I’m very sorry to hear of Katie’s passing. She loved the team more than anything and she has my deepest respect. God bless her family. So she was riding her bike, with a coffee in hand, and it accidentally spilled on a football player who allegedly assaulted a female soccer player. When the school disciplined her, she took her life. Not seeing how this is Stanford's fault.

Not Stanfords fault. Stevie Wonder coulda seen THIS comin'... Sad story. The Woke college administration caused the tragedy.
