Two-Time PGA Tour Winner Grayson Murray’s Cause of Death Revealed
Grayson Murray’s parents, Eric and Terry Murray, released a statement about their son’s tragic passing on Sunday, May 26 on X (formerly Twitter). In the statement, they confirm the cause of his death and ask for privacy during this difficult time.
“We have spent the last 24 hours trying to come to terms with the fact that our son is gone,” the statement begins. “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,” the statement continued.
“But one. 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.”
“We would like to thank the PGA Tour and the entire world of golf for the outpouring of support,” Eric and Terry Murray stated. “Life wasn’t always easy for Grayson, and although he took his own life, we know he rests peacefully now.”
The statement concluded with Eric and Terry Murray thanking the golf community for their support while also asking for everyone to be “kind to one another.”
“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.”
