Mangano was involved with the International Longshoremen's Association and in New York City politics.

In 1923, Mangano was indicted on murder charges, but was never convicted.[3]

Death

Mangano disappeared on April 19, 1951, six days after his 53rd birthday. That same day, a woman in a fishing boat discovered Philip Mangano's body in a marshland area of Jamaica Bay in Brooklyn while she had been walking through the tall grass.[4] Mangano had been shot three times; once in the neck and twice in the face.[3] He, along with his brother Vincent, who disappeared that same day, are believed to have been murdered on the orders of family underboss Albert Anastasia in Brooklyn in 1951.[5] No one was ever arrested in the Mangano murders, but it was widely assumed that Anastasia had them killed.[6]
