Not necessarily...could've been a quick acting poison that Connie laced into the cannoli. What makes you think Don A suffocated?

I would guess he's panicking. And apparently the 'thugs' did not do a fabulous slicing job so maybe the blood is just trickling. Anyway, a hat would absorbe dripping blood better than a hand, eh?

Again, not necessarily. Though shot through the eye, bullet could've affected an area of the brain where death would not be instantaneous; thus the slow lowering of the head. Despite what the majority seems to think, I've always liked the way Moe Green dies. More dramatic to watch then just seeing him blown away like so many others.

Johnny does struggle at first, I believe he grabs at the hanger and it appears at one point he's about to break free. But Brusetta has a pretty tight hold so there's not much he can do. Then once we hear the crack of the neck breaking that's it...he's dead and falls limp. Why doesn't he flail his legs you say? Because the threat is at his neck and that's where he's going to struggle.
By the way, Luca Brasi didn't stuggle at all. Not that he wasn't strong enough...but with his hand impaled to the bar and the garrot being pulled tight, there was little for the poor lug to do but bug his eyes out and make that aweful sound as he slowly sank to the floor.
