Hi Boromir, I just got some very sad news that I thought I should pass onto you. Shelley Beattie passed away on February 13, 2008. The family has not released the official cause of death as of yet, but there's no doubt she will be dearly missed. Shelley had been living in Portland, Oregon at the time of her death. Perhaps best known for her role as Siren on American Gladiators, Shelly was also a successful IFBB woman's bodybuilder; placing as high as 3rd at the 1992 Ms. Olympia contest. This is so sad. I don't have many details but I'll let you know what I find out. I'm sorry to pass this news to you. Please say a prayer for her and her family and friends. Charley

Please keep Shelley's family in your thought and prayers. She will be missed.

I just got an update. Shelley's family is saying that she had gotten very sick around Christmas and had been hospitalized since January. They say that she fought hard and she died on Wednesday this last week. I also have this posted in the American Gladiators forum too and will keep updates coming once I get them.

side note*** I personally didn't know Shelley as well as her fellow Gladiators, but my heart goes out to her family and to all her fellow Gladiators that she worked with.

I received a message from someone who knew Shelley personally and they let me know that she was actually living in Salem, Oregon at the time of her death.
