Folks, we’re diving into a story as complicated as a triple-threat match. WWE Hall of Famer Tammy Lynn Sytch, who has faced significant legal trouble in recent years, is now grappling with serious health issues while serving her sentence. Let’s break it down.
Tammy Lynn Sytch, once a shining star in the wrestling world, has seen her life take a tragic turn. After a car accident that resulted in the death of a 75-year-old man, Sytch was charged with multiple DUI and manslaughter charges. In the summer of 2023, she pleaded no contest and was sentenced to seventeen and a half years in prison. She’s currently serving her time at Lowell Correctional Institution in Florida.
But the story doesn’t end there. Sytch recently revealed to “TMZ Sports” that she’s dealing with a blood clot in her left leg. She noticed swelling “from the top of her knee all the way down to her toes” shortly after being transferred to Lowell from the Central Florida Reception Center. According to Sytch, her initial requests for medical attention were ignored by prison officials, and her condition worsened to the point where she could barely walk.
After some persistence, she finally convinced the staff to test her leg, revealing the clot. She’s now being treated with blood thinners, but she describes the process as “a chore,” expressing ongoing concerns about her recovery and the quality of care she’s receiving.
Adding to her anxiety is the memory of her late boyfriend, Chris Candido, who passed away in 2005. Sytch believes his death was caused by a blood clot that formed after leg surgery, though this has been disputed by Candido’s brother. Fearing a similar fate, Sytch has stated that if her treatment doesn’t improve, she will seek care at an off-site hospital.
