Pro wrestler Lexie Fyfe told the Daily News: “She was found very early this morning. This last act, I don’t want it to define her. She would always want people to reach out for help and to check in on those they’re worried about. We’re going to miss her. I loved watching her perform.

Do you not understand that?” Later, she makes an apparent reference to her wishes that her brain be donated for medical study, noting: “I don’t want to do anything to hurt my brain.
