Suicide, likely. From what I read, she actually got her life together and taught ESL.

Rarely do these wrestlers die of old age in their sleep.

Either that or she compromised her health during the years with steroids and it finally took its toll.

Oh, too bad.

There a person called “Blac Chyna” who shows her breasts and goes out with a Kardashian.

That would be my guess.

They suspected overdose when she was found, but no drugs were found in the home.

Steroids or not, you can damage your heart if you build up more muscle mass than it can support for a lot of years.

I used to babysit her when she was a toddler and her two older siblings. Was my first babysitting stint. They insisted on watching the Wizard of Oz and got freaked out over the crystal ball scene.

The mom used to play cello professionally. They moved shortly over to the east side of town.

It will forever be a modern marvel that Fabulous Moolah lived as long as she did, and was active to the very end.

On the other hand, Sylvester Stallone's mother Jackie is 94 and still well involved with women's professional wrestling.
