After Death
Cops later found Matt's body and a witness told officials about the murder, which according to a transcript was on the night of April 29, 2000, at about 9 PM. The witness identified Tony from a picture without knowing that he was a mob boss. When the witness learned that the murder was mafia-related, he then refused to cooperate. The feds continued to try to pin the murder on Tony, but remained unsuccessful. Tony repeatedly worried about being implicated in the murder. In the second season finale, Tony asks Pussy if he may have tipped off the FBI about the Bevilaqua hit. Pussy denies this accusation, although Tony executes him regardless.
In the fifth season finale, after Adriana is murdered, Tony asks Christopher if Adriana may have mentioned anything about Ralph or the "Bevilacqua kid" as he was taking precautions, making sure she hadn't said anything to the FBI to implicate them in relation to the murders.

Famous quotes containing the word death:
“On the death of a friend, we should consider that the fates through confidence have devolved on us the task of a double living, that we have henceforth to fulfill the promise of our friend’s life also, in our own, to the world.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“What I call middle-class society is any society that becomes rigidified in predetermined forms, forbidding all evolution, all gains, all progress, all discovery. I call middle-class a closed society in which life has no taste, in which the air is tainted, in which ideas and men are corrupt. And I think that a man who takes a stand against this death is in a sense a revolutionary.”
—Frantz Fanon (1925–1961)
