Man who fought with Brooklyn building super who later died released without charges

"The 31-year-old man who fought with a Brooklyn building super who later died of an apparent heart attack has been released without being charged as an investigation revealed that a pre-existing medical condition may have led to the super's death, the Daily News has learned. His release comes amid conflicting accounts about what happened in the moments before the man and the deceased, 41-year-old Burim Havolli, began grappling with each other in the lobby of the Ocean Ave. apartment building in Flatbush on Wednesday morning."

"The father, who declined to give his own name for fear of retaliation, said that his son called 911 against Havolli as the struggle unfolded. 'My son waited there for the police. He made a call. He made a call about being assaulted by someone, and he waited there for the police,' the man's father said. 'When the police came, they arrested him.'"

Police released a 31-year-old man who grappled with 41-year-old building superintendent Burim Havolli after an investigation indicated a pre-existing medical condition may have caused Havolli's apparent heart attack. Witnesses and Havolli's relatives reported the pair argued and began fighting in the lobby of an Ocean Ave. Flatbush apartment building. The younger man's father said his son called 911 during the struggle and maintained he was the victim. Officers found no evidence of criminality and the man's name was withheld because he was not charged. Havolli reportedly refused medical attention, later collapsed before showering, and died at Kings County Hospital.
