According to wfmz.com, the homicide charges against former wrestling legend Jimmy Snuka have been dropped. Snuka's attorney and the Lehigh County district attorney's office confirmed today that Judge Kelly Banach dropped the charges in an unscheduled hearing.

Snuka, who faced third-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter charges, was previously found incompetent to stand trial for the 1983 death of his then-girlfriend, Nancy Argentino, at a motel in Whitehall Township.

It was reported in December that Snuka is currently in hospice with only 6 months left to live.

Jimmy Snuka is best known for his time in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE) in the early to mid-1980s and is rightfully credited for introducing the high-flying style of wrestling to the WWF. Snuka, who was the first WrestleMania opponent of The Undertaker, was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 1996.
