Mobster Peter Gotti, the one-time Gambino crime boss and successor to brother John “Dapper Don” Gotti, died in North Carolina where he was serving time in federal prison. He was 81.
Gotti, who had been sentenced to 25 years in jail after being convicted in 2003 on racketeering and other charges, died of natural causes at the Federal Medical Center in Butner, the Associated Press reported.
The Bronx native served more than 17 years behind bars and had been recently seeking an early release because of his poor health.

Burn scum, burn.
America over the past sixty years has descended into neo pagan decadence. Sorry to say Italian-American author Mario Puzo has contributed to the decline. Neo pagans worship celebrities rather than the divine. Puzo created a whole degeneate class of amoral “celebrities” derived from his own kinsmen for the neo pagan deranged to idolize and worship.

Was he in an “assisted living” location?
Was he placed there by government edict?
I was born and lived in Manhattan until age 13, 1970, but grew up near the Ozone Park neighborhood where Gotti’s “Bergen Hunt & Fish” club was. Saw Peter around the area a lot during the days I hung out there in the 70s and 80s. Saw his brother only once going into the club. Peter wasn’t really a tough guy mobster type. He had been a sanitation worker years earlier.
...Ozone Park is in Queens, NY.
Eighty-one, say isn't that about the same age as Nanzi? Just saying.
The Mafia must be very envious of the Democrat Party.

A lot of Republicans are trying to get in on the ‘business’ as well.
Lol! I think he was made "boss" for about a week. Peter was not exactly "mob boss" material. Even if his official title was "boss" of the Gambinos, he surely wasn't making any decisions, rather like the current president.
Only the good die young.........................
Democrat politics and insurance companies.
Agree however the Mafia guys die by the gun or the gavel democrats don’t.
He knew where the bodies were buried. Which yard line in Giants stadium etc.
