A day after detectives and medical examiners pronounced the death of Bay Ridge Pharmacist, John Rossi a suicide, authorities continue to maintain: “he [Rossi] fired one bullet from a .380 automatic Beretta into his chest – but missed all vital organs, either though nerves or poor aim. Bleeding, he then pointed the handgun at his head and pulled the trigger.”

However, according to the Daily News, authorities are also saying that Julius Nasso sr – Lowen’s building owner, one-time movie producer, and convicted Steven Segal extortionist with alleged ties to the Gambino crime family – is being ’scrutinized.’

Nasso sr., Rossi’s friend of 40 years, denies any involvement with pharmacy[outside of just owning the building we guess], or the steroid scandal.

Suspiciously mum on the subject of murder, however.

Rossi, who has adamantly denied any wrong doing in steroid trafficking since the May 2007 raid, is said to have possessed information that “could have taken down a lot of people.”

Information which Rossi now takes to his grave.

Law Enforcement sources going on to say that;’his suicide not only ensures his silence but also could frighten off other witnesses.’

While a Daily News source speculates one Rossi business partner was: “hiding under a bed somewhere, convinced it’s not a suicide and they’re coming for him next.”
