Former pro wrestler and actress Joan Laurer, better known as Chyna, has died at the age of 45.
The cause of her death was not released. A post on her Facebook page confirmed the news on Wednesday night.
According to ABC7, Chyna was found in her bed at her home in Redondo Beach, California.
Fans and friends of the wrestler took to social media to express their shock and sadness at the news. Many remembered Chyna as a pioneer in the WWE.
Chyna was born on December 27, 1970 in Rochester, New York. She rose to prominence as a pro wrestler in the 1990s with what was then known as the World Wrestling Federation.
She quickly became one of WWF’s biggest stars, competing against — and defeating — several top male wrestlers, including Triple H and Chris Jericho.
According to the Bleacher Report, Chyna was the first and only woman to win the Intercontinental Championship, snagging the belt in 1999 and again in 2000. Chyna was also the first woman to participate in WWF’s Royal Rumble and King of the Ring.
Chyna left the WWF in 2001. She claimed she was “abruptly let go“ by WWF management — a decision that had a profound impact on her life.
“When I was in WWE, I was in such a great place. Professionally, it was one of the best times of my life and I loved my work. When the carpet was pulled from underneath me, I had a lot of years to heal from that. It took me a long time, which I think most people have seen in the public eye. I kept trying, but it was very difficult and I had some really difficult times,” she told the Baltimore Sun in 2011.
After the WWF, Chyna wrestled with New Japan Pro Wrestling and with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. She also modeled and worked as an actress, appearing in films and guest-starring on TV shows, including “3rd Rock from the Sun,” “The Nick Cannon Show” and “Pacific Blue.” After struggling with addiction for years, she appeared on “Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew” in 2008.
Chyna also gained fame as a pornographic actress, working in a number of X-rated films and posing for Playboy magazine. She told the Sun in 2011 that working in porn was “very empowering” and had helped her “therapeutically.”
At the time of her death, Chyna was working on a documentary about her life, entitled “The Reconstruction of Chyna.” The film, she told Wrestling Inc. last year, was supposed to offer a glimpse into what she’s “been up to for [the past] 15 years.”

But she was definitely a female by birth and didn't undergo any kind of a sex operation. What does it matter that she had more testosterone and stronger muscles everywhere than both you and me ??
