Even frank the bomb son Carlo was a heroin addict and rumored that was killed for this reason with an overdose.

At one point in time viewed as an up-and-comer in the local mafia syndicate, earning his “button” before his 30th birthday, Bommarito fell out of favor with a number of underworld factions in the Motor City later in his life, leading to his untimely demise with a needle in his arm and reputed a “hot-dose” of heroin coursing through his veins on January 20, 2007.
Bommarito was the son of former capo Frank (Frankie the Bomb) Bommarito, 85, and currently still running the streets in a solider-capacity. The FBI has heard reports that the younger Bommarito’s death was ordered by then-Detroit mafia underboss Vito (Billy Jack) Giacalone, his father’s best friend and the man who sponsored him for membership into La Cosa Nostra at a March 1995 ceremony and carried out in typical Detroit-LCN “veiled style” (throughout the years a series of local gangland hits have been staged to appear as suicides and overdoes).
Per law enforcement files and sources in the local mob, in the months leading up to Bommarito’s death, Giacalone was heard “motherfucking Carlo up and down, calling him a snitch.” In the early-1990s, both Bommaritos and Carlo’s close pal, John (Crazy Johnny) Pree, were Billy Jack’s primary representatives on the street. Carlo and Crazy Johnny were caught collecting mob-backed gambling and loansharking debts and committing arson and home invasion-scams.
Tapped with being the Detroit mob’s liaison to the local black drug gangs and aiding in his dad’s liaison duties with the area motorcycle gangs and an independent Albanian strong-arm wing, Carlo began battling an increasingly-worsening narcotics addiction and stealing money from the Italians’ joint rackets with the blacks, bikers and Albanians.
As a result of his skimming the till and the rumors that he was informing, Billy Jack was taking heat and according to police reports, sought and received Frankie the Bomb’s permission to put out the contract on 41-year old Carlo’s head. The elder Bommarito served as capo of Giacalone’s longstanding Eastside crew from 1998 until Billy Jack died in 2012 when he was demoted by Giacalone’s son, Jack (Jackie the Kid) Giacalone, the Detroit mafia’s new Godfather.
