less cheerful
He was an infamous mafia turncoat who spent the last three decades in hiding, but the man immortalised by Ray Liotta in the film Goodfellas has died a natural death.
Henry Hill died yesterday, just a day after his 69th birthday, after his 'heart gave out'.
Having spent the last 30 years hoping that his gangster past would not catch up with him, it is perhaps ironic that Hill finally died naturally as opposed to at the hands of one of the mob men he angered when he 'ratted' on them in 1980.
Hill's criminal achievements reached their peak when he and his mob scooped what was then a record loot of $5million in a heist at the Lufthansa cargo bay at JFK airport.
Hill hit public attention after the publication of his book about his life story called Wiseguy written by crime reporter Nicholas Pileggi which later became the hit Martin Scorsese film Goodfellas.
Born on June 11, 1943, in the tough Brownsville area of New York, Hill was the fifth of seven children and the first son to his Sicilian mother Carmella and his father also called Henry.
His sister Lucille Chrisafulle described him as a likeable boy, but one who showed early signs of developing into a mafia man.
