Former “WWE Tough Enough” winner Sara Lee’s cause of death has finally been confirmed.
According to information obtained by TMZ Sports, her autopsy revealed that she died by suicide last October. She was just 30 years old.
Sara Lee, the winner of Season 6 of WWE’s “Tough Enough” reality series, was said to have ingested a lethal combination of alcohol and pills, according to Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office documents obtained by TMZ.
The coroner’s report added she left “letters of intent at the scene” before her death, and was found with bruises and abrasions on her head and body. Officials also suspected she suffered a fall while intoxicated at the time of her death.
“WWE is saddened to learn of the passing of Sara Lee,” the wrestling promotion wrote in a statement back in October.
Lee married fellow wrestler Cory Weston, known as Wesley Blake in the WWE, in 2017. They shared three children, a daughter Piper, a son Brady and a baby boy.

“I loved you from the first moment I saw you,” Weston penned in a message to Lee on Instagram following her death. “I would always say that you were an angel walking on this earth. Beautiful, compassionate, strong and so loving. An angel that blessed me with 3 of the most beautiful children I could imagine.
“I really don’t know what to say in these uncertain times. I just know that death can’t take away the memories we made. I can’t promise that I will stop grieving but I know now, that you’re free. I can’t thank you enough for giving me the best years of my life so far.”
Lee earned a one-year deal from the WWE in 2015 after she won first place in the reality show where other aspiring wrestlers competed for a contract.
However, she would be released from the WWE in Sept. 2016 and later wrestled briefly on the independent circuit.
