This guy is fascinating given his lineage. I would be interested to learn more. Think he still saw Scotto from time to time. Like would Scotto invite him to Southhampton23r? wonder if he let him hang around the retired Goldman partners from when it was private at 85 Broad?

What about Greg DePalma's son. Didn't he hang himself? Nicky Scarfo's son wasn't a gangster but he tried to kill himself, not sure if that counts tho.

Craig De Palma hanged in prison in 2002. Scarfo son Mark was a civilian.

Not made, but there was a Colombo associate named Nicky Lanza if I remember correctly, he murdered his wife and kids and shot himself out in Vegas. I’m sure others on the forum know the story better than myself.

Andrew 'Andy' Alberti was a Gambino soldier who allegedly committed suicide, though other signs show he was murdered. I don't think it was ever confirmed. Maybe put a * next to him.

[Villain]

Long time Chicago hitman Sam "Rip" Alex....when Sam caught cancer he allegedly decided to shoot himself in the head.

On February 11, 1987, Gus Alex found the lifeless body of his 78 year old brother Sam in the bedroom were a .38-caliber revolver laid nearby and a note that said simply, "I am Sam Alex", mainly because Sam used the alias "Sam Taylor". The police and the Du Page County coroner reported that the death apparently was caused by self- gunshot wound to the head.
