A Pennsylvania district attorney announced Monday that he is convening a grand jury to investigate the mysterious, 1983 death of Nancy Argentino - and her one-time boyfriend, former professional wrestling superstar 'Superfly' Jimmy Snuka, is named as a person of interest in the then-23-year-old's tragic death. The investigation into Argentino's death has remained open for more than 30 years, which means it was never determined whether her death was a murder or just an unfortunate accident - even though the coroner at the time found that, 'upon viewing the body and speaking to the pathologist, I immediately suspected foul play and so notified the district attorney.'

I was a huge fan of Snuka.

I thought he had died some years ago from juicing.

Guess I was wrong

Remember the Fly off the Steel Cage from some ungodly height in the Wrestlemania? that was an athletic feat. how many backyard injuries were a result of attempting to duplicate it?

I remember that. Amazing! I think he was wrestling Magnificent Don Muraco. Of course the other memory was when Roddy Piper smashed his head with a coconut during Piper’s Pit.

Superfly ping.

When did “suspect” become “person of interest” in the presstitute lexicon?

I remember that leap - amazing! I saw him wrestle on a local card in Asbury Park NJ at the end of his career. He was wrestling for the AWA shortly before they folded. He was well past his prime at that point. He climbed to the top of the turbuckle, and his opponent (I think it was Colonel DeBeers), who was on the other side of the ring, had to run over to the corner where Snuka was in order to help "sell" his "Superfly" leap to finish the match.
