Report: Jimmy 'Superfly' Snuka's wife says former wrestler is in hospice care
Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka is ailing to the point of hospice care, the former professional wrestler's wife told a Pennsylvania judge, the Lehighvalleylive.com reported Friday.
Per the report:
Snuka's attorney, Robert Kirwan, said the former wrestler has suffered a number of infections, and was hospitalized on Monday after the most recent infection led to psychosis and hallucinations. ...
Kirwan said the doctor's prognosis is that if Snuka's health continues to worsen, he may die in the next six months. Prosecutors said they were told by a doctor that Snuka is terminal.
Snuka was facing charges of third-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter in the 1983 death of his then-girlfriend Nancy Argentino.
In June, judge Kelly Banach ruled that Snuka was unfit to stand trial, based on his dementia and other health issues,and then pushed the review hearing to the December.
On Friday, Banach said she would need to review records of Snuka's treatment over the last six months and will issue a decision later, LehighValleyLive.com reported.
