    Agent: Dead LPGA golfer was packed for tournament

    LPGA golfer Erica Blasberg had her bags packed for a tournament in Alabama when she died suddenly at her home in suburban Henderson, Nev., her agent said Tuesday. Police aren't saying how she died.

    Blasberg, 25, was scheduled to leave last Sunday to play a qualification round on Monday for the Bell Micro LPGA Classic in Mobile, said the agent, Chase Callahan, who is based in Irvine, Calif.

    Callahan and Blasberg's parents, Mel and Debbie Blasberg, of Corona, Calif., began planning Tuesday for a memorial service in her hometown amid questions about Blasberg's death Sunday in her home about 15 miles southeast of the Las Vegas Strip.

    "We don't know yet who, what or why," Callahan said, calling Blasberg's death "tragic for her family, the people of Corona, and the people who knew her."

    Blasberg was found dead about 3 p.m. Sunday after police responded to a 911 call from the three-bedroom home Blasberg bought for $281,000 in November 2007.
