Chyna's manager Antony Anzaldo announced that her brain has been donated to chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) research. He adds that Chyna had a schduled intervention for her prescription pill abuse problem the week she passed away.

The New York Times reports that Chyna's brain has been donated to Dr. Bennet Omalu, the famous forensic pathologist who discovered chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) by studying football players. Dr. Omalu was played by Will Smith in his recent movie "Concussion." Anzaldo who is also Chyna's close pal also wanted to know if the wrestler had CTE. Anzaldo notes that while Chyna wasn't as prone to concussions as pro football players, she had various physical injuries during her WWE career as well as history with domestic violence.

Joan Marie Laurer or more famously known by her wrestling name Chyna, passed away last week in her California apartment. There is no official cause of death as toxicology results can take up to weeks, CNN reports. However, authorities note that there were no signs of struggle or foul play. She was 45 years old.

ET Online shares that Chyna had a televised intervention scheduled during the week she passed away. Anzaldo told the outlet that Chyna was aware that she had a prescription pill problem and that she was ready to ask for help. Anzaldo shares that Chyna may have relapsed due to the new therapist she was seeing who was asking her about her addiction history.

However, he notes that they weren't putting off her intervention for a scheduled reality show about intervention. He explains that they were in the middle of creating Chyna's documentary called "The Reconstruction of Chyna" which will still be continued even after her death. The documentary will be released next year.
