Revealed: Why Ashley Massaro Took Her Own Life At Age 39 In 2019
Ashley Massaro, 39, was discovered unconscious Thursday morning at her home in Smithtown, New York after she failed to show up to her job at a nearby radio station.
Massaro died en route to the hospital as emergency crews performed life-resuscitating measures on her to no avail. Police believe no foul play was committed and are classifying Massaro’s death as “non-criminal.”
It was earlier reported that Massaro “died after apparently taking her own life.” The report, however, doesn’t attribute this claim to anyone and offer no further details. There is no official word on her cause of death since it’s currently under investigation.
The original article published a statement purportedly from former WWE performer Shelly Martinez (aka Ariel) claiming that Massaro died of suicide. As it turns out, The Blast got the statement from a Facebook account pretending to be Martinez.
Ryan Satin of Pro Wrestling Sheet spoke to Martinez, who denied making the statement. She’s unaware of Massaro’s cause of death.
