Sara Lee’s Death Ruled To Be A Suicide
Sara Lee passed away in 2022 and an autopsy report revealed her death was caused by suicide.
Wrestling fans knew Sara Lee as a former WWE Tough Enough winner that would go on to marry former WWE superstar Wesley Blake.
Sara was the co-winner of the 2015 season of WWE Tough Enough – the male winner was Josh Bredl. Some of the other women on that season of the show included Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville, who continue to be WWE superstars. In September 2016, she was released from WWE contract.
Sadly, Sara Lee passed away in October 2022 at the age of 30. She was married to her husband for five years and the couple had three young children together.
It has been reported by TMZ Sports that Sara died by suicide. The report notes that “Lee ingested a lethal combination of alcohol and pills.” In addition to that, Lee left “letters of intent at the scene” before her death.
The TMZ report notes that the official documents say that Lee had bruises and abraisons on her head and body at the time of her death. It is possible that she may have suffered those injuries in a fall or multiple falls while intoxicated.
After her death, WWE posted this to honor Sara Lee.
