Former wrestler Daffney Unger, whose goth-style makeup, punk attitude and uninhibited shrieking earned her the nickname Scream Queen, was found dead today at her home outside Atlanta. She was 46.

Although a cause of death has not been disclosed, she had hosted a disturbing Instagram Live on Wednesday night in which she appeared to be discussing suicide as she held a small gun. Her death was confirmed today by her mother, friends and several pro wrestling promoters.



Some of you may remember her from her WCW days, some may not. Just passing the news though.

That's a shame. I don't know who she is, but suicide sucks for those left behind.

This sucks.

My understanding is that TNA intentionally threw her out there to work when she told them she felt unsafe / was hurt and then stiffed her when she got a permanent injury.

She got CTE and committed suicide. Damn shame.

I vaguely remember her. Many wrestlers have chimed in with condolences on social media though.

I know it's a tight-knit community anyway, but it appears she was well-known and well-liked amongst her peers. Sad.

For some reason I don't remember her even though I know I was still watching WCW when she was there. I just watched the Chyna doc on Vice the other night and now seeing this girl's age, it's just a fricked up tragic sport

I loved her gimmick during WCW's last year.

This is so sad.

Evidently Mick Foley heard what was happening and was trying to find her address to send the police to her home. She was very popular within pro wrestling, though not widely known outside of the business.
