Officials have confirmed to KCBS Radio that Meyer, 22, died by suicide.
Foul play was not suspected in Meyer's death.
"We are exceedingly saddened to hear about the death of Katie Meyer, a beloved, talented, and respected Stanford student, athlete, and Santa Clara County resident," the office wrote in a statement to KTVU. "The Medical Examiner-Coroner extends sincerest condolences to the family, friends, and fans of Katie Meyer."
Meyer, Stanford's starting goalkeeper and captain, was found dead in her dorm room on Tuesday morning. Administrators first told the campus that a student had died on Tuesday, confirming Meyer had died in an announcement to students, faculty and staff the following day.
A senior due to graduate this June, Meyer majored in international relations, minored and history and worked as a resident assistant.
The Newbury Park, Calif. native won a national championship with the Cardinal in 2019, saving two penalties in the decisive shootout to help the Stanford women win their third title.
The reigning national champion Stanford women's basketball team honored Meyer on Thursday night, wearing wristbands with Meyer's initials and kit number (19) and donning Stanford women's soccer warmup shirts before beating Oregon State in the Pac-12 tournament.
A GoFundMe for a memorial fund created on behalf of Meyer's family was created on Wednesday, raising nearly $130,000 of its $200,000 goal as of press time.
