No charges will be filed in the death of a Brooklyn building supervisor, Havoll Spring, who was found with head injuries after police sources said he was confronted by a person who was trespassing in the apartment and trying to steal the residents' packages.
The Albanian's autopsy revealed that he died as a result of a pre-existing health condition, while the Brooklyn District Attorney ruled that the suspect's confrontation with the 41-year-old from Kosovo did not constitute any criminal offense, the New York Police Department, NYPD, announced.
The suspect being questioned in connection with Havoll's death has been released from custody and will not be charged, police said, reports the Telegraph.
We note that a citizen had reported an assault to police on Wednesday at 1199 Ocean Ave., in Flatbush, where Havolli worked.
He had major head trauma when officers found him and rushed him to Kings County Hospital, where he died. Investigators reviewed a brief cellphone video that showed a person arguing with Havolli and acting erratically moments before the alleged attack, but they did not classify the Albanian man's death as a homicide.
Sources later said the 41-year-old supervisor had a severe blockage of an artery, reports cbsnews.
Residents spoke admiringly of Havoll and told CBS News New York that package theft is a problem in their building.
His brother expressed grief over the loss and recalled how they had both survived the Kosovo war in 1999 before moving to the United States.
"He loved this place. This place helped us a lot," said Blerim Havolli.
"There are no words to describe it. This is sad. He left behind three children and was only 41 years old," said cousin Petrit Havolli.
Otherwise, the family has announced that the deceased will be buried in his homeland, Kosovo. /Telegraph/
