Daffney Unger dead: Wrestling star’s haunting final Instagram post before she was found dead after disturbing video

A WRESTLING star shared a haunting final Instagram post before she was found dead.

Tragic Daffney Unger, 46, told her 35,000 followers: "Sometimes you have to forget what you feel and remember what you deserve."

It came weeks before she appeared in a worrying Instagram Live video where she appeared to hold a gun.

Then less than 24 hours later, Daffney, who earned the name 'Scream Queen' thanks to her goth-punk style attitude and in-the-ring noises, was found dead at home.

In the video, Daffney – real name Shannon Spruill – cried as she asked: "Do you guys not understand that I’m all alone?"

The former WCW hero later begged "just please stop" before appearing to hold a small pistol.

"Remember, my brain goes to Boston," she then said.

Daffney also mentioned she may have symptoms of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) – a degenerative brain disorder caused by repeated concussions.

She said: "The most important thing to remember is that CTE and head injuries and concussions, they can really only be diagnosed after you are dead.

"So, I don't want to do anything to hurt my brain. I want to be studied.

"I want the future generations to know. Don't do stupid s*** like me."

It sparked concern among her fans and fellow wrestlers, who urged her to seek help.

WWE's Mick Foley tried to call Unger but tweeted that it "went straight to voicemail".

"If anyone has a way of reaching Daffney Unger, or knows her address, please help out," he said.

"She’s in a bad personal place and is threatening to harm herself."

'SUDDEN DEATH'

Sean Ross Sapp, of Fightful.com, also tweeted on Wednesday: "For those concerned about Daffney, emergency services have been contacted and sent to her most recent known address.

"Her family have been reached, and have her current address.

"She’d moved in the past couple of weeks. Police have been dispatched."

Sadly, Daffney was found dead after "passing away suddenly" that night.

Wrestler and friend Lexie Fyfe confirmed her death in a statement on Thursday afternoon.

Posted to Shimmer Wrestling's official Twitter account, she said: "We are very sad to have to announce the passing of Shannon Spruill aka Daffney Unger @screamqueendaff.

"We are posting this at the request of her family. Please respect their privacy at this trying time.

"I will miss you my logical sister from another mister."

I will miss you my logical sister from another mister.

Daffney's mom Jean Tookey Spruill said on Facebook she was "absolutely heartbroken" to have lost her daughter "suddenly".

The cause of death has not yet been confirmed.

Unger was best known for her appearances with World Championship Wrestling between 1999 and 2001.

She also found fame at Total Nonstop Action Wrestling from 2008 to 2011.

Unger, who also previously used the names Shark Girl, The Governor, Lucy, and Draculetta in the ring, is survived by her mother.
