Following the medical examiner’s findings, Lee’s sister-in-law, Courtney White, reflected on her life and loss in a statement to NBC News on Friday.

“Sara lived for 30 years. And she lived a lot of beautiful moments in those 30 years,” her sister-in-law Courtney White told NBC News on Friday. “Her death was a very short chapter in a very beautiful life. A chapter that needs no explanation or comments. Seven months ago today she left us and the details matter no more then, than they do now.”

Lee is survived by her husband, WWE wrestler Cory “Westin Blake” Weston, and their three children: Piper, 6, Brady, 4, and Case Oliver, 21 months.
