The Smoking Gun, via a Freedom of Information Act request, received the last photograph taken of John Gotti, the former Gambino crime family head also known as the Dapper Don or Teflon Don.
According to TSG, the photo - a 1"x1" "institution commissary photo" was taken on "October 17, 2001, less than eight months before he died, at age 61" and two years after cancer surgery. Gotti was sentenced to life in prison in 1992, after being found guilty on 13 counts, including murder, conspiracy to commit murder, loansharking, racketeering, obstruction of justice, illegal gambling, and tax evasion.
The Post says the photo shows how he was "transformed from a debonair rogue who lived it up in $2,000 suits to a decrepit old man, with a gray T-shirt and a hangdog look." And check out Gotti's earliest prison mugshot from 1965. Let this be a lesson to you, Growing Up Gotti boys!
