• Ashley Massaro Died By Suicide

As we noted earlier, former WWE Diva Ashley Massaro has passed away at the age of 39.

Former WWE Diva Shelly Martinez (f.k.a Ariel in WWE) revealed to The Blast that Ashley died by suicide.

Below is what Shelly said:

“My best friend from the wrestling business died from suicide two days after responding to 300+ fan letters. She was the happiest I have seen her in years, so stoked that people still cared about her 11 years after her career was over. There are no signs. It comes without warning. If you are going through the worst shit in your life, just know that you are not alone. PLEASE seek help.”

Former WWE Divas Michelle McCool and Torrie Wilson also hinted at this by their posts on Social Media.

Below is what McCool posted on Instagram:

“My heart is broken for Ashley Massaro’s family, especially her sweet daughter! 39 years young….gone entirely too soon! ALWAYS smiling & incredibly kind! Happy to call you friend! .

Remember that we NEVER know what others are going thru. Life’s greatest struggles are often hidden behind a big smile! Be kind, love others…Prayers shipped! ??#RIPAshley”
