In December 2016, wrestling legend Jimmy ‘Super Fly’ Snuka was put into hospice and given 6 months to live. This weekend, he succumbed to his fate..
Just weeks ago, he was ruled unfit to stand trial in the death of his girlfriend from the 1980s.
Snuka was charged with third-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter over the death of his girlfriend Nancy Argentino in 1983.
He was declared mentally incompetent at a hearing in June 2016 and was due to attend a hearing to re-evaluate his condition.
Nancy, 23, was taken to hospital gasping for air and oozing yellow liquid from her mouth on May 10, 1983, having spent the night in a hotel room with Snuka.
That is the sad legacy of the wrestling giant– he was famous in his prime.. He couldn’t stand trial to do his time.
And he is gone rot a greater judge and jury beyond the earthly realm today.
