Mike Forelli dies after starting his [[Idaho|Idaho's]] engine, which had been fitted with explosives causing the car to explode. The sign at [[Marco's Bistro]], where he is killed, jokingly reads "Eat 'til you explode".

Mike Forelli had been a frequent visitor of Marco's Bistro in [[Saint Mark's]], [[Portland Island]], [[Liberty City in GTA III|Liberty City]], as Joey Leone seemed aware of the length of his stay at Marco's Bistro before Claude killed him.
