Things sometimes go horribly wrong in wrestling whether it be practising moves during training or attempting/doing moves within an actual match. While it is easy to apportion blame in situations like the Ong/Khali incident, accidents can and do happen so I think it's unfair to label Khali a murderer in this instance.
The Jimmy Snuka incident was far more shadier as there appears to be a clear attempt at some sort of cover-up. Regardless of whether or not he did the deed, the actions of Vince McMahon - who acted as Snuka's mouthpiece while Snuka played up his 'simple foreign savage who can't speak English' gimmick - must be seen as a deliberate attempt to mislead authorities into believing that Snuka should be excused on the grounds of diminished responsibility. The case is currently still open and has been reviewed recently so we may see some further developments on this story in the near future.
As do I, I just never looked hard enough into it to see what the outcome was, am I right in saying Brian Ong had underlying problems that brought about his premature death, or was it down to a mistimed move...I was not meaning to imply that Khali was a murderer, I was just responding about an article I had seen titled 'Wrestlers who have killed people' though the naming of that article pretty much makes them out to be murderers in my opinion.
That is the nature of Pro Wrestling though, serious injury is an occupational hazard and there careers can be short by one mistimed/botched move
