It's possible that Frank is the one in the coffin. The obituary said
the person was from New York, and Frank said he bled Yankee blue when
they were talking about the Sox winning the World Series. However,
it's not likely that Frank would have his funeral in a black L.A.
neighborhood.
I still think it might be Michael, who is also a New Yorker, but
Frank's a candidate.
It could also be Walt, which might explain Jack's strong reaction to
the death. I'm not sure why it would cause him to want to commit
suicide, though.
