In his 2012 autobiography, WWE legend Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka described himself as a free spirit who jumped off island cliffs in Fiji and Hawaii, and later off turnbuckles as one of pro wrestling's biggest names in the 1980s..
"Superfly: The Jimmy Snuka Story" was meant to highlight his Hall of Fame career, but Lehigh County authorities say it also helped crack a 32-year-old mystery — the death of Snuka's 23-year-old girlfriend, Nancy Argentino, after she was found unconscious in a Whitehall Township motel.
On Tuesday, Snuka, 72, was charged with third-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter after a Lehigh County grand jury determined he repeatedly assaulted Argentino in May 1983 in the motel and then left her in bed to die.
