However, Snuka was not prosecuted until 32 years later when he was charged with third-degree murder in 2015. James was deemed unfit for trial due to his deteriorating mental health and so eventually, charges were dismissed in January 2017. Snuka died twelve days later.

He died in his sleep due to heart failure and his body was found by his chauffeur. He left his entire estate to his daughter Robin.
