Read on for coverage of Chyna's passing and reactions to it.
It's very unfortunate that someone who was once a pioneer for women in a
male-dominated industry fell into such depths once out of the
spotlight. Joanie Laurer was a flawed human being put in a very public
position. As such, I think she's entitled to some sympathy and
understanding. While it's easy to judge her by her spiral into an early
demise, I'm choosing to remember Chyna the DX member and
former Intercontinental Champion.
Stephanie McMahon tweeted about her passing. While I'm sure she and Chyna weren't BFFs, it's appropriate to acknowledge her impact on the business.
Chyna was discovered in her home by a neighbor who went to check on her after the neighbor's phone calls weren't returned for several days. Thankfully foul play isn't suspected.
WWE released a statement on her passing. They've since posted related content of her matches and the like.

I legitimately choked up a bit at what Nash wrote. I'm glad so many people have kind words to say about her.
Triple H put out a statement about the loss of his former DX stablemate and romantic partner.
More wrestling coming up.
