Report: Plans being made to donate Chyna's brain to science
The manager for Chyna says the wheels are in motion to have the late WWE superstar's brain donated to science, the New York Daily News reported on Friday.
The hope is her brain will be turned over to Dr. Bennet Omalu, the forensic pathologist who was the focus of the movie "Concussion."
"We want to donate her brain. We want to know what made Chyna tick," manager Anthony Anzaldo said days after she was found dead at the age of 45 in her apartment in Redondo Beach, California.
According to Anzaldo, lawyers had sought him out regarding a brain injury lawsuit against WWE.
"We're not interested in the lawsuit at all," Anzaldo said. "We're just looking for (the researchers) to give us everything they can get."
"I've been told (Dr. Omalu) is calling the medical examiner to let them know the plan, so they'll be cautious with her brain," Anzaldo said.
Anzaldo said he found Chyna in her bed with two prescription bottles in the room --€” one for Ambien and one for an anti-anxiety medication similar to Xanax.
"There was nothing illegal. No alcohol. It was just those two prescriptions she was legally taking," he told The News. "I saw no indication of foul play, no vomit, no blood. She was just lying there peacefully. Of course she's had issues and posted things (online), but I just don't think it was intentional."
Anzaldo said Chyna's wish was to be cremated and her ashes will be spread in the Pacific Ocean. He added there are plans to create a place the wrestler's fans can visit.
