A 96-year-old California man who died at his Halloween-themed birthday party after dancing to “Stayin’ Alive” has been identified as a “local legend” in West Los Angeles. TikTok’s viral “Vito” is actually 96-year-old Vito Justin Martinaitis, who partied with his young friends at his Santa Monica home moments before passing away last month. Caleb Hunter, 34, who told The Post that Martinaitis named him one of his “greatest best friends” in the days before he died, said he was well-known in Venice and was the “life of the party” even in his advanced age.
