Publish date: 2024-05-04

It is with great sadness that the family of Victoria Lee acknowledges her passing on December 26, 2022. At 18 years old, Victoria left an indelible impact in the hearts of those who loved and knew her.

It was only nearly two weeks later on January 7, 2023, that Angela Lee made a public statement to share the heartbreaking news of her sister’s death, though the cause was not shared publicly. 

Victoria will be remembered for her generous spirit and kind heart in memories that linger for years ahead.

“She has gone too soon, and our family has been completely devastated since then. We miss her. More than anything in this world. Our family will never be the same. Life will never be the same.” She added,” Our family has been absolutely devastated since then.

Angela added, “Victoria was the most beautiful soul ever lived. She was the best little sister in the world. The best daughter, the best granddaughter, and the best godma / aunty to Ava and Alia. We miss you so much sis. More than you could ever realize,” she wrote. “We’re all broken. Because a piece of you was in each of us and when you left, those pieces were . We love you Victoria. I love you, Sprout. Until the end of time.”

Angela Lee, a mixed martial artist and the sister of Victoria Lee and Christian Lee, urged people to check on their loved ones and show them love and respect. 

She also mentioned that Victoria is the youngest fighter to have ever competed in ONE Championship and is currently the ONE women’s atomweight champion, having successfully defended the title five times since winning it in 2016.

Victoria Lee, a fighter in the women’s atomweight division for ONE Championship, cited her sister and brother as her major role models in an interview.

Her brother, Christian Lee, recently became a two-division champion after winning the welterweight title in November 2021, in addition to his previous victory in the lightweight division. 

Victoria has three victories to her name and most recently defeated Victoria Souza in September 2021.

Victoria’s cause of death

Victoria Lee’s cause of death has yet to be determined. Her sister, Angela, did not specify how she passed away in her Instagram post but pointed to a strong implication that Victoria had taken her own life.

Angela kept the message light while making a poignant point: no matter how hard it is, we must always make an effort to check in on our loved ones and let them know how much they matter.

Questions remain as to why Victoria took this action and what could have been done differently, but that can only be done with further information from the family.
