Ashley Massaro, a former WWE wrestler has died at the age of 39 years old.
The Suffolk County Medical Examiner in New York confirmed to The Blast that Massaro died Thursday (May 16), but a cause of death was not revealed, pending an investigation.
According to The Blast, a “rescue call” about an unconscious female was placed around 5:30 a.m. from Massaro’s home in Smithtown, and she was rushed to a nearby hospital, where she passed away.
Even though officials didn’t reveal a cause of death, they did say it was being classified as “non-criminal” and no foul play was suspected.
Massaro’s death is especially shocking though, considering her age and the fact that she just posted on Twitter yesterday about responding to fanmail letters.
“Just answered a ton of fanmail so you guys should be receiving them soon! Love ya punx,” reads her last tweet.
