Mobsters suicides

[Villain]

....in addition to my previous post....according to some new mob researchers on youtube and around the internet, theres allegedly some suspicious stuff regarding Nitto's alleged suicide. But until I or someone else receive some real evidence regarding that claim, we will all still consider Nitto's situation as suicide.

Didnt Primo Cassarino tried to hang himself in prison but failed & got brain damage and then he got shelved for it?

You're thinking of Craig DePalma. He attempted suicided but failed and ended in a coma (he died several years later never having woken up). If I rember right he had initially flipped but then changed his mind and then tried to off himself. Primo Cassarino also flipped.

Wasn't there a member who killed himself after accidentally killing two civilians or sth?
Also IIRC Riccobono attempted suicide but died of natural causes.

Vincenzo "Jimmy" Tripodi, Steubenville, OH Calabrian Boss committed suicide in his garage in 1987...after being diagnosed with terminal cancer.

Wasn't there a suicide connected to the Philly family?

Yeah if I remember right Harry Riccobenes's nephew killed himself because he thought he was going to get killed by Scarfo. Nicky Scarfo's son (a civilian) also tried to kill himself but failed and ended up in a vegetative state.

In Leonetti book its write that during the war against Riccobene in 1983,Leonetti and another guy went to the jewelry store of Riccobene's nephew, Enrico who was a civilian, a jeweler, Leonetti to scare him began to tick with their fingers on the armored glass and Enrico thinking they wanted to kill him, took his pistol and shot himself. When said that to Scarfo he said "we dont need to do anymore,they whack themselves".
The Scarfo son Mark was bullied and and try to kill him but survived in a vegetative state. Sad story Nicky sr always blamed his son as a weak.

wasn't there a father and son combo suicide in nj or ny not that long ago
people thought it was a mob hit

Nick "Skins" Stefanelli I think you're referring to. Not sure if his son died or killed himself, but Nick "Skins" was cooperating and he flipped after flipping, killed a former business partner, and killed himself after - I think he took a purposeful overdose of oxy or dope (?) - it was discussed ad nauseum on old RD forum since one of the more well known posters...a guy made by Funzi himself in 81...knew this Skins guy. IIRC he posted about it before it hit the news

I remeber that one, killed a guy in his video machine shop I believe, was saying the guy set him up, was there ever any truth to that? That was a wild story. I'm going to try and find some info, my memory sucks but I remember the story being they hung themselves in the basement, looked fishy. I'll google hopefully I find something

Maybe I was thinking of this but I swear the one I was thinking of happened after 2005
