I've never heard of the guy, or the case, but what's up with a new autopsy report in a 32 year old case? Did they run new tests on old, preserved samples? What new could they possibly have turned up?
My viewing of professional wrestling pretty much ended in high school, back when we were learning to drink beer, which for some reason involved watching Baron von Raschke and his terrifying, should-have-been-banned-by-the-Geneva-Convention killer move, "the claw." I think we must have watched it back then because it came on after all the legitimate televised sports were over, and wrestling was the only thing left on the tube in those innocent pre-cable days except talk shows and infomercials. This shows you the dangers of beer.
From what I read, the ORIGINAL autopsy report, which the locals refuse to release, was ferreted out from court records by some organization which then wrote an article on it as well as Snuka's many contradictory stories immediately after reporting finding her. My guess is that this statement really means the case was reopened last year after the original autopsy report became public and they got bad press for flubbing it badly back then.
