In an update on the passing of former WWE Women’s Champion Chyna (Joanie Laurer), Anthony Anzaldo, who worked as her manager and was involved in the documentary on her life at the time of her passing, stated to The New York Daily News that he was the one who found her body and that the documentary was filming as he entered her home and noted that the film, which is still as of writing intended to be finished and released, may show him entering the home of Chyna, but will not show any footage of him finding her body.
Anzaldo said that he found Chyna in her bed with no signs of foul play or even blood or vomit and that she appeared to be resting, however he also noted that there were prescription pill bottles for Ambien and one for an anti-anxiety medication similar to Xanax, but that there was no alcohol or illegal drugs and said, “my only solace is that she obviously died in her sleep with no pain, she was alive one second and dead the next, it doesn’t look like there was a struggle for air.”
Anzaldo said that he is currently in the process of getting permission from Chyna’s family to authorize that her brain will be donated for CTE research and while Chyna had been contacted to try and bring her into the ongoing lawsuit against the WWE over how they allegedly treated talents when it came to brain injuries, Chyna had no interest in the lawsuit, but the science behind the CTE discovery interested himself and Chyna.
Anzaldo also noted that Chyna will be cremated with some of her ashes spread in the Pacific Ocean, with others in a location that fans could visit if they decided to do so.
