In December, we learned that 73-year-old pro wrestling legend "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka was suffering from terminal cancer and had less than six months to live. The news was revealed via Snuka's murder trial, where he faced charges for the 1983 death of his girlfriend, Nancy Argentino. Argentino died of brain injuries after Snuka called an ambulance to their hotel room in Allentown, PA, following a wrestling event. Authorities did not have evidence to charge Snuka at the time, but the case was reopened in 2013, and Snuka officially charged with third degree murder and involuntary manslaughter in 2015. However, Snuka's lawyers claimed that Snuka suffered from dementia and was unable to defend himself in the trial. The case was postponed to see if Snuka's condition would improve, but since that has not happened, charges were dropped today, according to a report from local Pennsylvania news station WFMZ.
