Al Capone’s Grave in Hillside, Illinois
Buried in a family plot at Mt. Caramel Cemetery in Hillside, Illinois, lies one of America’s most infamous gangsters, Al Capone. Capone ruled organized crime in Chicago from 1925 to 1931, before he was eventually arrested for income tax evasion and violating the laws of Prohibition. He was initially incarcerated in Atlanta but was moved to Alcatraz in 1934. In 1939, Capone was released to a hospital in Baltimore, as his syphilis had progressed to an advanced stage. After his incarceration ended, he relocated to Florida and died of a heart attack in 1947.
