Minnesota wrestling legend Verne Gagne is under investigation in the death of a fellow resident at a Bloomington care facility, a local television station is reporting.

Police said Gagne, 82, threw his roommate, Helmut R. Gutmann, 97, to the floor on Jan. 26, breaking his leg and injuring his head, according to KMSP-TV. Gutmann was treated for his injuries, but was later rehospitalized, the station said. He died Saturday.

The men lived at Friendship Village, a care facility for people with Alzheimer's disease and dementia. Both had Alzheimer's-related dementia, KMSP-TV said.  ...

This is sad, not only for the victim but for Gagne's family too as it's likely he would never have done this when he was in possession of his full faculties.

Good God, the deceased was 97 years old and died a few weeks after the "incident."

Isn't it just possible that the guy's death was natural?
