Bass reportedly died of a heart attack, however her girlfriend wouldn't confirm or deny this on her Facebook page

At 6-foot-2 and 230 pounds, Bass was controversial in the bodybuilding arena because she was so much larger than her competitors

Bass was a popular at the WWE during its 'Attitude' era and also part of Howard Stern's 'Wack Pack' in which he loved to tease her about really being a man
Marrone described how Bass had been ill.

'A few days ago Nicole got very sick. She was brought into the hospital and they did everything they could to help her.

'I have been sitting here with her in the room 24/7 since she got here making sure she was being given the best possible care. Today we learned that there is nothing else that can be done.

'Nicole was an amazing woman. Strong not only on the outside but inside as well. Beautiful soul and kind heart.

'Many people knew Nicole but few ever got close enough to know the REAL woman that she was. I got to be one of the lucky few. Not only was she my soul mate and my girlfriend but she was my best friend, my teacher and my business partner.'

In May 2016, Bass posted a picture of herself in hospital but refused to say why she was there. 'My answer .... 'It's private!' she wrote.
