How Did Clemenza and Hagen Really Die in The Godfather The Exact Story?

The deaths of Peter Clemenza and Tom Hagen have long been shrouded in mystery, leaving fans of The Godfather saga with more questions than answers. These two pivotal figures, once the backbone of the Corleone family, met their ends off-screen, their fates only hinted at in cryptic conversations and fleeting mentions.
But what really happened to these iconic characters? Was Clemenza's death truly a simple heart attack, or was there something more sinister at play? And what of Tom Hagen, the adopted son and trusted consigliere, whose absence in the final installment speaks volumes?
In this video, we'll dive deep into the murky waters of speculation and theory, exploring the various possibilities surrounding their demise. We'll examine the clues left behind in the films, the expanded universe novels, and the whispers of the criminal underworld they inhabited.

What happened to Clemenza ? They could not agree on a contract for GodFather II. What happened to Tom? Could not agree to a contract for GodFather III.

The expanded universe of the godfather is terrible. The Nick Herasi character is supposed to be some kind of Superman. The Geraci character, and the books as a whole read like bad comic books.

Clemenza wouldn’t be wearing a silk suit to cook in a diner. A heart attack is a fully sufficient cause of death given his age and weight. The Hagen thing is fanciful. My guess is Tom finally split from Michael and accepted a counsel position with a legit gaming company. He dies of natural causes, perhaps too many 3 martini lunches.

1) I don't get the need to have AI do the narration. Just do it yourself and run with it. Have fun with it.
2) While Tom may have been a "great lawyer" he was a lousy consiglieri.
3) The scene where Sonny shoves Fat Clemenza up against the wall always seemed forced to me to illustrate Sonny's temper. Southern Europeans don't disrespect people who are loyal to their father. That is really the only problem that I ever had with the first movie.
4) I will always wonder how Ron Jeremy, of all people, got a role as an extra in Part III. But it makes sense because that movie was so bad.

I don’t feel Tom would be caught off guard so easy he learned his lesson after getting taken by Salotso years before.
