The death of former WWE legend Chyna sent shockwaves across the wrestling world last week and rightly so, however the real reason behind her untimely death was revealed by her manager Anthony Anzaldo yesterday. In an interview to the New York Daily News, the manager stated,"She was inappropriately taking her legally prescribed medication over the course of two to three weeks. On Sunday night, her body had enough. Her normal amount was one thing, but over the course of time she was increasing, and not properly." However, it must be reiterated that there was no drug abuse involved as claimed in certain sections of social media and internet message boards. 

Chyna had been suffering from emotional strain according to her manager and had overdosed on valium and ambien. She had been prescribed those medicines but she went over the limit. "She had been a little emotionally strained. She was really confronting some demons and she may have been taking a little bit more than normal. Every couple of days she'd be a little bit off of her game, a little loopy, like maybe she had taken too much but she was still coherent. It looked like she died peacefully in her sleep, there were no illegal drugs, no alcohol, it wasn't like her home was a mess. At this time there's no thought of it being an intentional thing." Police have stated that she may have been dead many days prior to the day her body was discovered. 

Joan Marie Laurer, better known by her stage name Chyna was regarded as the 'eighth wonder of the wonder of the world' during her time in the WWE and other than women's wrestling, she also competed against men and had also been a member of the fmaous 'D Generation X' group. She had also held the Intercontinental Championship for brief while during her heydays. It was not a surprise that when her death was announed last Wednesday, a pall of gloom descended on the wrestling world and tributes poured in from all across the world.
