Alzheimer's patient Verne Gagne investigated in the death of his care facility roomateMinnesota 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.

Are you sure this wasn't a mock bar exam question?
I remember Verne Gagne. I was a wee lad in MN in the seventies and watched All-Star Wrestling for a few years. I remember wondering why Greg Gagne, such a little guy, was the champ, but the announcers were always reminding us of Verne. I thought it was funny when the Twins brought up a different Greg Gagne in the eighties. Hulk Hogan got his start there.

many of the stars from the early WWE expansion came from the AWA.
Hogan, Savage, Schultz, Heenan, Okurland, Adonis, Patera, and Ventura, to name just a few.
