Verne Gagne, the AWA legend and WWE Hall of Famer, is a resident of the Friendship Village in Bloomington, MN, an assisted living community. He was allegedly involved in an incident with Helmut R. Guttman on January 26th, which ended up with Gagne throwing Guttman to the floor. Twenty days later, Guttman passed away. Both Gagne and Guttman suffer/suffered from Alzheimer's related dementia. Police are investigating Gagne as a suspect, but it has been noted that, due to his condition, Gagne was most likely unaware of what he did and had no recollection of the incident.

Twill's Two Cents: Gagne is not being charged with anything at this time. It would be difficult to determine that Gagne was completely at fault given the physical and mental conditions of both men. This was definitely a tragic situation and the Guttman family has every right to be upset. I wonder where the supervisors in the home were when this took place.
