The high flyer is now with the angels. Unfortunately his final years were not good ones with his decent into dementia, and the death of his girlfriend at his hands. 12 days after being declared unfit to stand trial he died.

   

He's basically damnatio memoriae now due to the manslaughter charge. Same territory as Benoit now, no matter how good the matches were, because one act that evil in real life is sufficient to wipe out the value of an entire career. WWE probably wants this over as quietly as possible because they don't need the rumours brought up again that Vince was covering for Snuka back in the mid-80's (even though they knew back then that he most likely killed the woman) because he was too big a crowd draw, especially in their shows at MSG. That, and also because if Snuka had gone to trial back then it would have blown the lid off as to how insane the WWF locker-room was back in the 1980's due to the widespread use of cocaine and other drugs.

   

Oh, good, you found a dead guy we can all act as if we are heartbroken for his death. I suggest people stand at attention in full salute in their living rooms for at least an hour. It's the least they can do to honor this valiant warrior, who lost his mate, the poor victim.

   

RIP Jimmy.
