Snuka had been battling stomach cancer. His death comes less than two weeks after a judge dismissed murder charges against him for the 1983 death of Snuka’s then-girlfriend, Nancy Argentino.

Our family @TaminaSnuka asked me to share the sad news that her dad Jimmy Snuka has just passed away. Alofa atu i le aiga atoa. #RIPSuperfly
