Kamala (wrestler)
James Harris (May 28, 1950 – August 9, 2020) was an American retired professional wrestler and author. For most of his career, Harris wrestled under the ring name Kamala, using a "wild savage" gimmick. He was born in Senatobia, Mississippi.[1]
On November 7, 2011, Harris had his left leg amputated below the knee due to complications of high blood pressure and diabetes, a condition he has had since 1992, but not accepting dialysis treatment, forcing him to retire on 2010.[2]
On November 19, 2017, Harris underwent "life-saving" emergency surgery at a hospital in Oxford, Mississippi.[3] The cause for the surgery was not disclosed.[4] Following the surgery, he was put on life support due to complications resulting from the surgery.[3]
On August 5, 2020, he tested positive for COVID-19 and was hospitalized in New York City. He died four days later on August 9, aged 70.[5][6][7]
