TMZ reports, however, that despite the supposition authorities did not find any illegal substance in the WWE champion's home. Chyna had prescriptions medicines around her when she was found.

However, authorities are still confirming if these played into the WWE champion's death. Chyna did not leave any suicide note. Neither did the WWE champion's body show any sign of foul play.
