My mind spits with an enormous kickback.
Rock, you following the Whitey Bulger trial?:
A body found near Lincoln, Mass., has been identified as Stephen "Stippo" Rakes, who was to be a key witness in the trial of notorious South Boston gangster James "Whitey" Bulger.
Rakes was scheduled to testify that he was forced at gunpoint to turn over his liquor store to Bulger 29 years ago.
A law enforcement official confirming Rakes death to USA TODAY says authorities are investigating that he may have died of natural causes. The body of Rakes, 59, was found Wednesday afternoon.
The official said there is "no obvious sign'' that he was murdered. ABC News reported that police told Rakes' family that the death appeared to be a suicide. No phone or wallet was found on the body.
