This is a tragic story.
News broke that James Madison catcher Lauren Bernett passed away on Tuesday and it sent the softball and sports world into a little of a shock.
At first details weren’t released of how she lost her life but it is now being said that the cause of death is likely a suicide according to TotalProSports.
The Rockingham County Sheriff says that the official report is pending and haven’t released anymore information out of respect for her family and friends.
Bernett was the star of the James Madison team that had a historic run in the 2021 College World Series and she was just named the Colonial Athletic Association’s Player of the Week after a good performance in a weekend series versus Drexel.
