Former WWE Wrestler Chyna’s Brain To Be Donated For Science Research

Posted By: Ben Kerin on Apr 23, 2016

Former wrestler Joanie Laurer, better known as Chyna will have her brain donated for scientific research, according to the NY Daily News. Laurer was found dead in her home by her manager, Anthony Anzaldo, on April 20th.

Anzoldo told Daily that Laurer had been approached about joining the on-going concussion lawsuit against WWE but they decided she wouldn't but they were interested in exploration of the effects a career in wrestling and a history of domestic violence had on the brain.

“My hope is that we can do it. I’m in the process of getting the permission to speak on behalf of family to tell the coroner it’s okay to release it.”

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.”

Anzaldo says the research will include Dr. Bennet Omalu, the pathologist who discovered CTE – Central traumatic encephalopathy.
