Wrestling legend Jimmy 'Superfly' Snuka died on Sunday aged 73, following a battle with cancer. 

Snuka had been battling with stomach cancer that saw him undergo surgery to remove part of his stomach and his lymph nodes in an effort to try and get rid of it, but in December he was given six months to live. 

His daughter, Sarona 'Tamina' Snuka, who's also a WWE superstar, shared a photo to Instagram of her holding her father's hand. 




She captioned it: 'I LOVE YOU DAD #FOREVERMYDAD #RestWell #FamiliesAreForever #BestDad #SnukaLegacy'.

The WWE Hall of Famer's death comes just days following his acquittal for the 1983 murder of his ex-girlfriend Nancy Argentino
