She talked about him getting his dream job (in AEW) only to suffer an injury.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You go on to build your dream life with another perfect little boy, 2 crazy dogs, and 5 cats. They get an opportunity to really bet on themselves and you watch them shine like never before. Life is SO good.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She then said he got sick one day, then got sicker and sicker. &#8220;You know how much they value their privacy, so you ask those helping you to keep it quiet out of respect for them,&#8221; she said. &#8220;You watch helplessly as they worse and worse. Covid test, after covid test, after covid test, come back negative. You almost pray for a positive one because it would be some kind of answer. You never get one.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Suddenly they are gone.&#8221;<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3340129314\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>She then commented on an opinion piece published on PWTorch Sunday by Bruce Mitchell. The column <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2020\/12\/29\/editors-note-concerning-a-published-column-regarding-the-death-of-jon-huber\/\">has since been removed, and PWTorch parted ways with the author on Tuesday<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You have to try to figure out how to imagine your future now,&#8221; she wrote. &#8220;Then you read a &#8216;journalist&#8217; demanding &#8216;transparency&#8217; and insinuates you&#8217;re hiding something. That it&#8217;s some type of cover up. Something more so sinister. That you aren&#8217;t serving his memory best by not offering up information you&#8217;re still trying to process. As if his death was a public health hazard. It wasn&#8217;t. It was a tragedy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is no cover up. There&#8217;s no conspiracy. There was just a series of unfortunate events that ended in your world being crushed. What kind of position does that put you in? When you&#8217;re trying to grieve and people practically expect you to post medical records because, since they were a public figure, they are entitled to all the knowledge of what happened.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It wasn&#8217;t covid. There&#8217;s no shame in dying from Covid, but it&#8217;s not what it was. You have no answers and you&#8217;re just left there. Can you just fuckin&#8217; imagine that?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>AEW is dedicating Wednesday&#8217;s episode of AEW Dynamite to the memory of Brodie Lee.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Join us on this special episode of <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AEWDynamite?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#AEWDynamite<\/a> as we honor the memory of Mr. Brodie Lee with matches dedicated to his legacy.
