Snuka became part of the investigation in September 2015 of the murder of his girlfriend in May 1983. Though he pleaded not guilty, it was determined that he was unfit to stand trial due to the fact that he was diagnosed with dementia. As the months progressed, his health declined and it was announced that he only had several months to live, so the charges were dismissed in January 2017. He passed away shortly after, 12 days after the charges were dropped, at age 73.
