The death of professional wrestler Sara Lee has been ruled a suicide, Texas medical examiners said Friday, when they discovered the 30-year-old had ingested a deadly cocktail of alcohol and drugs.
Lee, best known for winning the 2015 WWE reality TV series “Tough Enough”, died October 5 at her home in San Antonio, officials said.
Her death has been ruled a suicide by “mixed drug toxicity” such as amphetamines, doxylamine and alcohol were all found in her system, a spokesman for the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office told NBC News Friday.

Born in Hope, Michigan, Lee won a one-year, $250,000 WWE contract in the league’s sixth season.
“Sara has lived 30 years. And she has had many beautiful moments in those 30 years,” sister-in-law Courtney White said in a statement Friday night to NBC News.
“Her death was a very short chapter in a very beautiful life. A chapter that needs no explanation or comment. Seven months ago today she left us and the details don’t matter then any more than they do now.”
