H2: San Diego ME names cause of death
The San Diego County Medical Examiner has released the official cause of death for Jayne Trcka, the bodybuilder and actress best known for her role as Miss Mann in the 2000 film Scary Movie. The report lists the immediate cause as hypertensive and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease complicated by a left femoral fracture.

H3: Chronic alcohol use listed as contributing factor
The medical examiner also cites chronic alcohol use as a contributing factor. Officials ruled Trcka’s death accidental. Authorities say she was found unresponsive in her San Diego home in December after a friend, unable to reach her by phone for days, went to check on her and called 911.

H2: Career highlights — from bodybuilding to TV
Trcka began competing in bodybuilding contests in the 1980s and later transitioned to on-screen roles. Her first film break came with Scary Movie, where she played Miss Mann. That exposure led to TV spots, including guest appearances on The Drew Carey Show and Whose Line Is It Anyway?.

Beyond acting, Trcka appeared in fitness publications such as Flex, MuscleMag International and Women’s Physique World. Reports also note she worked as a realtor in California in recent years.

H3: The last months and public reaction
TMZ first reported Trcka’s death in January after first responders pronounced her dead at her home. The medical examiner’s report released in February provides additional detail about underlying health issues and contributing factors.

Fans and colleagues have remembered Trcka for her presence in the fitness world and her memorable cameo in Scary Movie. She was 62.

H4: Why the ME report matters
The medical examiner’s findings clarify the medical conditions that led to Trcka’s death and confirm the role of chronic alcohol use. The combination of hypertensive and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease points to long-term heart and circulation problems that, combined with physical injury and substance use, proved fatal.

H5: Remembering Jayne Trcka
Trcka’s journey from competitive bodybuilding to film and TV gave her a distinct place in pop culture. She’ll be remembered by fitness fans and viewers who saw her on screen alongside well-known shows and comedians — including appearances tied to Drew Carey and other late-90s/early-2000s staples.

RIP Jayne Trcka. She leaves behind work in film, television and fitness that fans will continue to revisit.
