Shannon Spruill, aka former WCW star, Daffney, posted an alarming video to Instagram apparently threatening to commit suicide on Wednesday night.

In the video, which was captured and later posted to Twitter, the 46-year-old wrestler seemed to be crying while holding a small firearm. At one point in the video, Spruill says, “Remember, my brain goes to Boston.”

Dozens of well wishes flooded social media as friends and fans attempted to locate the troubled former athlete.

Nick Foley said via Twitter:

“If anyone has a way of reaching Daffney Unger, or knows her address, please help out,” the wrestling legend said. “She’s in a bad personal place and is threatening to harm herself.” Adding, “My phone call went straight to voicemail.”

In short video, which was dubiously reposted by SkullsMedia.com on Twitter, shows Spruill covered by a blanket why exclaiming “Do you guys not understand that I am all alone? Do you not understand that?”

SkullsMedia via Twitter:

“I’m not taking it down – if this saves even one person’s life, it’s worth losing all the followers, it’s worth having no followers at all. LIFE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN SOCIAL MEDIA.

What I am going to do is take a break from Twitter. Social media often CAUSES things like this.”
