    "He was alive - 100 percent. He probably died in the post office - at the ice-cream freezer, I'd say that's where he dropped off." Coakley added. "I was only doing him a favour by helping to bring his uncle down to get his money. But he died there. I've told the guards everything and people might call me a rat but f**k that. My family's name is being destroyed over this. It's a f**king joke." Coakley added.
