Former pro wrestler Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka has died just over a week after he was dismissed over a murder case. Snuka's daughter, Sarona, who currently wrestles in the WWE under the name Tamina, posted a photo on Instagram after his passing. Last week a Pennsylvania dismissed the murder case against Snuka, saying he was not competent to stand trial in the 1983 death of his girlfriend. Prosecutors allege she was beaten, while Snuka maintained she died from a fall. Banach had ruled last summer that Snuka was not competent to stand trial after his attorney argued the ex-athlete suffers from dementia, partly due to the head trauma sustained over a long career in the ring.
