A standout New Mexico State University soccer player was found dead inside her home Monday, a few days after she turned 20.
Thalia Chaverria's sudden death was announced Wednesday after Las Cruces Police officers found her unresponsive at around 7 a.m. Monday.
A cause of death is unclear but investigators said that they “have no reason to believe Chaverria's death is suspicious or the result of criminal activity.”
Friends of the young athlete have launched a GoFundMe account to raise money to bring her back to her hometown of Bakersfield, California.
“The sudden loss of Thalia has completely rocked our Aggie soccer families' world,” said head coach Rob Baarts.
“T was an inspiration and rock to this team. She will be missed but not forgotten. Her spirit will be with us every day, on and off the pitch. I will always love you T!”
