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.
