Death Of Ex-WWE Wrestler, MI Native Ruled Suicide: Reports

HOPE TOWNSHIP, MI — Former pro wrestler and Michigan native Sara Lee's death was ruled a suicide, according to multiple reports, citing the Bexar County, Texas, Medical Examiner’s Office.

Lee, 30, was found dead in her San Antonio home on Oct. 6, 2022. Officials determined Lee drank a lethal cocktail of alcohol and pills, after they found amphetamines, doxylamine and alcohol in her system, reports said.

Lee, who was born and raised in Hope Township, was best known for winning World Wrestling Entertainment's "Tough Enough," in 2015, earning a one-year, $250,000 WWE contract.

She wrestled in the company's developmental program, NXT, and made her in-ring debut in a tag team match. She was married to fellow professional wrestler Westin Blake (Cory Weston) and had three children.

Hope Township is roughly 140 west of Detroit.

"Sara lived for 30 years. And she lived a lot of beautiful moments in those 30 years," Courtney White, Lee’s sister-in-law, told NBC News. "Her death was a very short chapter in a very beautiful life. A chapter that needs no explanation or comments. Seven months ago today she left us and the details matter no more then, than they do now."
