The man died aged 69, on top of his game and with an almost (if not) instantaneous death.

For all the negativity surrounding him, the family fell apart from infighting in the immediate aftermath of his assassination, Rastelli was close to senility and would die not long after and his successor Massino would go on to become first bonafide boss to rat.


Should of kept Carmine alive if you ask me. I'm sure lots of the family felt the same way but the boss is the boss is the boss as Neil would say smile.
