In some sad to update and report news, it has been confirmed by SHIMMER at the request of Daffney's family to inform her friends and fans that she had sadly passed away.

We made a news post on Wednesday about Daffney posting a video onto her Instagram where it was noted she was giving signs of considering suicide.

Below is what SHIMMER stated on their social media account

"We are very sad to have to announce the passing of Shannon Spruill aka Daffney Unger @screamqueendaff. We are posting this at the request of her family. Please respect their privacy at this trying time. I will miss you my logical sister from another mister." -Lexie Fyfe"

Daffney is best known for her time with World Championship Wrestling between 1999 and 2001, where she won the WCW Cruiserweight Championship, and with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling from 2008 to 2011.

RIP Daffney.

She told me she loved seeing the video I posted of her accidentally winning the cruiserweight title from @wcwcrowbar, on the 20 year anniversary of the moment last year, as it reminded of the fun she had in WCW. pic.twitter.com/QJcfCmXjNy
