Sad to hear of this. Prayers up for his family.
Very sad. He was in great position after first round, wonder what cause of death was.
Golf is only sport I like or watch on tv. Hate to lose a promising player.
So sad! Prayers for his family!
Unless Hillary killed him it was Vax.
“Passed away” implies a passive death, but, sadly, one must assume suicide from the details presented here.
Alcoholism is a terrible disease…. It’s crushing one of my sons
Bummer, young guy.. but grief counselors will be available? What is wrong with people. A guy died, shxt happens. What’s next fluffy kitties and little puppies to pet to cope with the loss.
No Man is an Island
John Donne
No man is an island,
Entire of itself;
Every man is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less,
As well as if a promontory were:
As well as if a manor of thy friend’s
Or of thine own were.
Any man’s death diminishes me,
Because I am involved in mankind.
And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
It tolls for thee.
His parents issued a statement that Murray, who battled anxiety, depression, and alcoholism, committed suicide, the means understandably not given. One red flag is that the statement mentioned family members and friends, but not specifically his fiancée, Christiana Ritchie. Murray and Ritchie lived together in Florida, and were to be married in “Spring 2024.” Ritchie also traveled with Murray to many of his tournaments. Which begs the question, was she with him this week? Was there an argument or disagreement that might have triggered him? Prior to his death, Murray evidently deleted an Instagram post speaking to his love for and appreciation of Ritchie. No matter the circumstances, an awful situation.
