Sara Lee, the WWE Tough Enough champion, unfortunately, died in October 2022. She left behind her spouse, Wesley Blake, and three children. Fans are now understanding what might have transpired a little better.
An update on Sara Lee’s condition and potential factors that led to her untimely death at the age of 30 was published on PEOPLE.com. Sadly, it appears that alcohol may have had a role in the circumstance.
According to information provided to People by a “insider,” Sara Lee was reported to have been drinking significantly on the night of her death. Her husband eventually discovered her, but it was too late.
The insider says Lee “was heavily drinking [the night she died]” and was later found by her husband Cory James Weston (who goes by the ring name Westin Blake).
“He [Westin] had just come back from working in Orlando. He took the kids somewhere and came back and found her. It was sudden.” The source adds, “It wasn’t intentional and it was accidental.” Lee was “never that person you would think would do this,” according to the insider. “There were never any signs.”
