Any evidence it was the Mob he was going to testify against? I have seen a lot more speculation that he would reveal his cooperation with state intelligence agencies.

They are saying that if he were about to testify against John Gotti no one in this thread would doubt that it was a hit.

I would, simply because he had attempted once prior to the completed attempt. That said, it is super fishy case.

I am shocked as well how many people in this thread seem to argue that this was not murder. It is ridiculously obvious. Occams razor cleanly shaves off the option that this was in fact a very convenient suicide

If you know a bit of background on how these things work, it is also an obvious intelligence agency level murder, not just someone hiring someone to kill him.
