Heroin dealing grandmother Mags Haney is suffering from lung cancer. She is a fairly notorious figure in Scotland for heading up the original media "family from hell" and I think her inevitable demise will make the Scottish press.

 

Even before her diagnosis, she was in poor health according to this article from 2011.

 

Dead according to todays Record.

Canada's John Gotti dead.

 

Haha, I got confused there for a second, I didn't realise you meant "the Canadian version of John Gotti". Thought Gotti was Canadian and I never knew it.

 

I was like "Wait, didn't John Gotti die ten fuckin years ago?"

A long shot but the current examination of the pros and cons of the joint enterprise law (whereby hanging out with someone you know might - like - kill someone) might lead to several gangsta types being back on the street. Doubtless they still know where the witnesses live!
