James Reiher Snuka AKA Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka – Died at 73
Jamer Reiher Snuka (born James Wiley Smith) will be remembered as Jimmy “Superfly“ Snuka. During his time in the ring, Jimmy was credited for introducing the high-flying style to the WWF. His children are wrestlers as well. Snuka’s life was marked by the death of his then 23-year-old girlfriend Nancy Argentino. Nancy was found injured in his room in 1983 and died shortly after. However, Snuka was not prosecuted until 32 years later when he was charged with third-degree murder in 2015. James was deemed unfit for trial due to his deteriorating mental health and so eventually, charges were dismissed in January 2017. Snuka died twelve days later.
