WWE legend and “9th wonder of the world” Chyna, real name Joanie Laurer, was tragically found dead in her home last week at the age of 45.
Although the coroner chose not to release the cause of death, it’s suspected that it was from an accidental overdose of prescription drugs, a rumour that has now received substantial weight.
Chyna’s manager Anthony Anzaldo told TMZ that her friends were worried she was over-medicating with Ambien and Valium, and that he’d in fact signed a secret deal with producers of TV show called ‘Intervention’. You can probably guess the format. WWE stars / Chyna’s mates Stone Cold Steve Austin and Mick Foley were apparently slated to take part.
Meanwhile, WWE posted this touching tribute to Chyna earlier today:
