WRESTLING icon Jimmy ‘Superfly’ Snuka has died, according to the WWE legend’s daughter.
Snuka, a native of Fiji who previously lived in Camden County, New Jersey, was known on the wrestling circuit for diving from the ropes.

The high-flying star was charged in 2015 with third-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter in the death of Nancy Argentino, whose body was found more than three decades earlier in their Whitehall Township hotel room.
Prosecutors allege she was beaten, while Snuka has maintained she died from a fall.
Authorities reopened the investigation after The Morning Call newspaper raised questions about the case in 2013.
But earlier this month, a judge dismissed the murder case against former pro wrestler saying he was unfit to stand trial in the 1983 death of his girlfriend.
The decision by Lehigh County Judge Kelly Banach comes a month after Snuka’s lawyer told the court that his 73-year-old client has dementia, is in hospice care in Florida and has six months to live.
