The father of Erica Blasberg breaks his silence for the first time since the sudden and mysterious death of the 25-year-old, and RadarOnline.com has the exclusive interview.

“No one is doing well,” Mel Blasberg told RadarOnline.com.

”Anybody losing a child is going to grieve and when you have a child who was doing so many things and affecting so many people it’s that much worse.

“We’re no different than anybody else but probably magnified a little bit.”

Erica’s agent Chase Callahan says authorities are still baffled by Erica’s death earlier this month inside her suburban Las Vegas home.

“It’s still a mystery,” Callahan told RadarOnline.com.

“We haven’t gotten any facts from the police department, other than it’s an ongoing investigation. We know that they’re still investigating.”

Blasberg’s body was discovered on May 9 inside her three-bedroom home in Henderson, Nevada.

While police have not discounted suicide, Callahan insisted that the golfer would “absolutely not” take her own life.

The Clark County Coroner’s office told RadarOnline.com that there is no new information at this time.

“This was a happy, fun-loving girl,” he said.

“I just have been kind of waiting for the investigation to play out and we’ll go from there because whatever the result is it’s not going to bring her back.”

Callahan also rejected reports the golfer had been hanging around with the wrong crowd.

“Not at all,” he said.

“Erica was somebody who would casually drink and for as long as I’ve known her has never done any drugs... that’s absolutely not Erica.

“The people she hung around with were people of high net worth.”



Seems there's a doctor the police are interested in now.

"High net worth" reveals nothing about a person's character.

Regardless of the reason for Erica's death, this father and family will be suffering for a long time - nothing that is discovered will make that journey any easier. So sad, such a young promising future ahead of her - .

Why are people criticizing his statements? He's a distressed father who lost a child, I doubt I would be able to function much less make sensible statements during this time of tragedy.

“The people she hung around with were people of high net worth.”
So that means she didn't do drugs? I'm not saying she did, but this guy is delusional if he thinks she didn't do drugs simply because she hung around wealthy people.

I think we all know there are plenty of wealthy folks who do drugs.
