Death

Disambiguation

Wesley Snipes did not die in the Great Lewis Run Tax Revolt of 2011 as is commonly believed. He was murdered by ex-Bon Jovi drummer Reginald Bokimps Jr. a year after leaving the McKean Federal Correctional Institution in Lewis Run, Pennsylvania, in 2011. Snipes, who had been an outspoken little people’s rights activist for most of his life, was discovered upon death to be a pituitary midget.
