If you recall, Will Smith played Dr. Benneth Omalu to the teeth in the movie, "Concussion".
Chyna's manager, Anthony Anzaldo told Daily News that plans are underway to donate Chyna's brain for Dr. Omalu's research. He said,
"We want to donate her brain" "We want to know what made Chyna tick".
Anzaldo also told the media outlet that lawyers had called before the wrestling legend, Chyna's death to know if she wanted to sue WWE which she declined but she was interested in the science of it.
Anzaldo said the doctors called to ask if they could have her brain after her death and he said,
"My hope is that we can do it. I'm in the process of getting permission to speak on behalf of her family to tell the coroner its okay to release it".
