The man initially suspected of fatally beating a Brooklyn building super during a scuffle has been released without charges, cops said Friday \u2013 as sources revealed the allege assailant was not a porch pirate after all.<\/p>\n
The late superintendent also may have suffered from pre-existing heart issues that played a role in his death, law-enforcement sources said.<\/p>\n
Building worker Burim Havolli, 41 \u2013 a Kosovo war refugee who had been watching over the Ditmas Park site for 15 years \u2013 died during a dust-up with a 30-year-old man who allegedly bashed him with a phone multiple times Wednesday morning, cops and sources said.<\/p>\n

But sources revealed Friday that the fight between the two men was mostly verbal \u2013 and though Havolli was struck with the phone, the blows did not draw blood.<\/p>\n
Sources and neighbors initially said the younger man was allegedly attempting to steal a tenant\u2019s package \u2013 as the building has recently been plagued by such thefts and outside troublemakers.<\/p>\n
But sources said Friday he was not trying to swipe any packages after all.<\/p>\n
Both Havolli and the younger man called 911 after the fracas, sources said.<\/p>\n
Havolli, a married dad of three young kids, was rushed to the Kings County Hospital Center, where he died, police said.<\/p>\n

The alleged attacker was held in police custody since the incident but then released late Thursday as cops and prosecutors concluded there was no criminality involved, authorities said.<\/p>\n
Havolli may have suffered from prior medical conditions, including involving his heart, that played a role in his death, but the city medical examiner\u2019s office will make an official determination, the sources said.<\/p>\n
The ME\u2019s office confirmed Friday that the cause and manner of death are pending further study.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The man initially suspected of fatally beating a Brooklyn building super during a scuffle has been released without…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":379008,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5122],"tags":[5229,12937,1121,4219,180629,5248,405,403,5226,5225,5228,5227,67,586,132,5230,68,1154,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-379007","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-assaults","10":"tag-brooklyn","11":"tag-crime","12":"tag-ditmas-park","13":"tag-metro","14":"tag-new-york","15":"tag-new-york-city","16":"tag-newyork","17":"tag-newyorkcity","18":"tag-ny","19":"tag-nyc","20":"tag-united-states","21":"tag-united-states-of-america","22":"tag-unitedstates","23":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","24":"tag-us","25":"tag-us-news","26":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115549711014485697","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/379007","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=379007"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/379007\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/379008"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=379007"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=379007"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=379007"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
