It's said that his dramatic fate involved being fitted into what are colloquially known as 'cement shoes' and then being thrown into the depths of Hamilton Harbour. Cement shoes, also known as concrete shoes or a Chicago overcoat, are probably a trope you've seen in mafia movies or books. One popularized cement shoes plot occurred in the E. L. Doctorow novel Billy Bathgate, where a teenage boy from the Bronx watches the murder of a man thrown into a river with his feet encased in cement. Movies, like the 1984 film Johnny Dangerously, also feature a prank where a character gets fitted with cement shoes, alluding to the famous mafia tactic. If you ask Nicaso, he says the lack of evidence debunks the cement shoes theory.
