https://www.theglobeandmail.com/new...es-of-the-montrealmafia/article30393061/Found this insightful article from 2016 about the meeting and death of Sal. If it is accurate then it makes perfect sense. He was picked up by Jack Simpson and driven to his home for a meeting. RCMP deciphered blackberry messages between Desjardins, Mirarchi, and Montagna. Sal was explaining he was not behind the attempted murder of Desjardins 2 months earlier. The other two plotted Sal's murder and the meeting he attended alone makes sense now. I really believe Sal was not behind the attempted murder of Desjardins and went alone unarmed to show good faith.
What a tough mother fucker gets shot three times jumps through a window dives in the freezing water and swims to the bank and dies! I have the utmost respect for him just saying....
