This obituary is part of a series about people who have died in the coronavirus pandemic. Read about others here. Frank Cullotta, a mobster who was granted immunity for his testimony and spoke openly about organized crime in court and later on his own YouTube show, died on Thursday in a hospital in Las Vegas. His longtime friend Adam Flowers said the cause was Covid-19 and underlying conditions. Though he made his name as a criminal, Mr. Cullotta found a second calling later in life, giving mob history tours in Las Vegas and running his YouTube show, “Coffee with Cullotta,” about the inner workings of organized crime.
