Former WWE 'Tough Enough' winner Sara Lee has died at just 30 years old

The world of professional wrestling is mourning the loss of Sara Lee, who won WWE's "Tough Enough" contest back in 2015.

Sara Lee, whose real name was Sara Weston, died at only 30 years old. Her mother, Terri, broke the news on Facebook.

"It is with heavy hearts we wanted to share that our Sara Weston has gone to be with Jesus," Terri wrote, per Fox News. "We are all in shock and arrangements are not complete. We ask that you respectfully let our family mourn. We all need prayers especially Cory and her children."

The Corey mentioned in the post is Lee's husband Cory Westen. Westen and Lee married in 2017, and fittingly, he was also a professional wrestler. Weston wrestled under the name, Wesley Blake.

Lee's cause of death is not yet known, but in her last Instagram post, she wrote that she was just getting back into the gym after her "first-ever sinus infection" kicked her butt.

A GoFundMe has been set up for Lee's family. 

It reads: "We’re all shocked and saddened by the sudden death of Tough Enough winner Sara Lee. As her loving husband, Cory, picks up the pieces and continues to raise their 3 children, the last thing anyone in that position wants to be worried about is money and paying for a funeral and everything else that comes along with it. The wrestling community has always been one to come together in the wake of tragedy and this is no different. Every penny raised from this will go directly to Cory and the kids. Thank you all in advance. RIP Sara, you were one of the good ones. -Bull"

The GoFundMe was set up by fellow pro wrestler Bull James.
