Ashley Massaro, Survivor China contestant and WWE superstar, dead at 39

Ashley Massaro competed in Survivor China more than a dozen years ago on the Zhan Hu tribe as a WWE Superstar. She was 39 years old.

PEOPLE has reported Ashley Massaro, Survivor: China castaway and former WWE Superstar died on Thursday morning. The details of her death remain undisclosed as of press time, although it is not considered a criminal case according to a spokesperson for the Suffolk County Police Department. She was 39.

Survivor fans know her as a player who had a rough start during the show’s 15th season, falling ill very early on. She was almost the first player voted out of the game but persevered through her hardships. Ashley drew the ire of tribe leader Dave, who she thought prioritized the wrong things in building the tribe’s shelter.

She and Dave got into many arguments during her six days in the game but her drained physique and reliance on Dave as a tribe leader did not win Ashley any favors. Ashley was voted out unanimously from her tribe as she finished in 15th place on Day 6.

Outside of Survivor, Ashley’s career as a wrestler saw her with a brief stint in the WWE primarily across Raw and Smackdown, where she would feature such signature moves as a headscissor takedown and a monkey flip, with finishers such as a diving crossbody and a diving elbow drop. She performed for the WWE from 2005 to 2008.

She recently got back into wrestling for the NYWC in New York, announcing her re-entry on Twitter just a few months ago. She has stayed connected to her fans of both Survivor and wrestling, tweeting that she was answering fan mail just yesterday.

Ashley Massaro is the fifth former Survivor castaway to have died during the span of the show’s almost 19 years on the air. Other deceased castaways include Palau’s Jenn Lyon, Borneo’s B.B. Andersen, Blood vs. Water’s Caleb Bankston, and Gabon’s Dan Kay.
