Kurt Angle's Brother Charged With Killing Wife
DORMONT (KDKA) – A Dormont man was arrested after police say he killed his wife early Sunday morning.
They were called to a home on Peermont Avenue just before 6:30 a.m. for a domestic disturbance.
When police arrived, they found Donna Angle, 57, unresponsive. She was taken to an area hospital, where she died a short time later.
Police say her husband, 62-year-old David Angle, was responsible for her death. According to officials, Angle is the brother of professional wrestler Kurt Angle.
David was questioned by police and said Donna offered him vodka around 3 a.m. and continued to badger him about drinking.
He said Donna tried to kick him at one point, which is when he allegedly grabbed her by the arms, pulled her off the couch, put his foot on her chest and pulled.
"I don't know any of the specifics of what happened, but Dave's a good guy. I can't believe it," Joe Setticase said. "My head is killing me because I just can't believe this happened."
Officials have not released a cause of death, but an autopsy is scheduled for Monday.
Angle is charged with homicide and is currently in the Allegheny County Jail. Bail was denied due to the homicide charge. As of now, Angle will be back in court on Oct. 2 for a preliminary hearing.
