Autopsy results from the Bexar County Medical Examiner's Office have revealed that former WWE star Sara Lee tragically took her own life. As per official documents obtained by reputable outlets, Lee had consumed a fatal combination of alcohol and pills. The report also noted the presence of bruises and abrasions on her head and body, which were suspected to be the result of falls while under the influence.
The wrestling community was deeply shaken by Sara's untimely passing at the tender age of 30. WWE's official Twitter account paid tribute to her, stating, "WWE is saddened to learn of the passing of Sara Lee. As a former 'Tough Enough' winner, Lee served as an inspiration to many in the sports-entertainment world. WWE offers its heartfelt condolences to her family, friends, and fans."
The Bexar County Medical Examiner's autopsy report confirmed that Sara Lee died by suicide, corroborating previous reports. The document revealed the presence of amphetamines, doxylamine, and alcohol in her system. It also speculated that the observed bruises on her head and body could have resulted from falls during her intoxicated state. Sources further mentioned that she had left behind "letters of intent at the scene" before her tragic demise.
In March, a close source to Lee's family informed PEOPLE that alcohol likely played a role in her passing. The source revealed that she had been heavily drinking on the night of her death and was discovered by her husband, Cory James Weston (known as Westin Blake in the ring), upon his return from Orlando. The sudden nature of the incident left him devastated.
According to the insider, Lee was never someone who exhibited signs of such distress. She was described as a person one would never suspect of taking such a drastic step. Her mother, Terri Lee, shared the heartbreaking news on Facebook, expressing the family's shock and requesting privacy during their mourning period. She also requested prayers for Sara's husband, Cory, and their children.
Sara Lee began her wrestling journey in Hope, Michigan, where she graduated from Meridian High School in 2010. She excelled in track and field while also participating as a powerlifter. Lee rose to prominence during her appearance on the sixth season of the Tough Enough competition series, ultimately winning the season and earning a $250,000 contract with WWE.
Following her victory, Lee competed under the ring name "Hope," representing her hometown, in various NXT live events alongside notable names like Mandy Rose, who is now the NXT Women's Champion. Her sole televised match saw her facing off against WWE Diva Alicia Fox.
Although her WWE contract was terminated in 2016, Lee continued her training at Team Vision Dojo in Orlando, Florida. Despite her promising talent and potential, her wrestling career was tragically cut short. The news of her passing serves as a poignant reminder of the profound impact she had on the wrestling community.
