Golf star Grayson Murray’s parents have released his cause of death, and they say he “took his own life.”
The statement was released through the PGA Tour, which posted it on X on May 26, the day after the Tour announced Murray had died at the age of 30.
“A statement below from Grayson’s parents, Eric and Terry Murray,” the PGA Tour wrote. “If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, please call the national suicide and crisis lifeline in the United States at 988 or visit their website at http://988lifeline.org.”
In the statement, Murray’s parents said the situation is a “nightmare,” and added, “Life wasn’t always easy for Grayson, and although he took his own life, we know he rests peacefully now.”
Grayson Murray’s Parents, Eric and Terry Murray, Wrote That They Have ‘So Many Questions That Have No Answers’
In the statement released by the PGA, Murray’s parents Eric and Terry Murray wrote that they hope people will “honor Grayson by being kind to one another.”
“We have spent the last 24 hours trying to come to terms with the fact that our son is gone. It’s surreal that we not only have to admit it to ourselves, but that we also have to acknowledge it to the world. It’s a nightmare. We have so many questions that have no answers. But one,” they wrote.
“Was Grayson loved? The answer is yes. By us, his brother Cameron, his sister Erica, all of his extended family, by his friends, by his fellow players and – it seems – by many of you who are reading this. He was loved and he will be missed,” they wrote.
“We would like to thank the PGA tour and the entire world of golf for the outpouring of support. Life wasn’t always easy for Grayson, and although he took his own life, we know he rests peacefully now,” they added. “Please respect our privacy as we work through this incredible tragedy, and please honor Grayson by being kind to one another. If that becomes his legacy, we could ask for nothing else. Thank you.”
