Florind Belliu, 35 – an actor and aspiring filmmaker originally from Albania – and his wife Ornela Shehi, 28, were found in the rear courtyard of 2199 Cruger Ave. around 9:15 a.m. Saturday after apparently jumping from the sixth floor, cops and police sources said. “There were signs in the apartment that indicated it wasn’t all Kumbaya, like they didn’t just decide to leave their kids behind and jump,” the source told The Post. The source wouldn’t provide any more details on the alleged “signs.” A suicide note was not left behind, according to the source. Authorities are waiting for autopsy results to determine whether Shehi suffered any injuries not indicative of a fall, the source said. By late Tuesday morning, the city’s Medical Examiner’s Office had not made a determination on either Shehi or Belliu’s death. Investigators are probing whether there was a struggle before a Bronx couple plunged to their deaths from their Cruger Avenue apartment Saturday, a high-ranking source said.Kevin C. Downs Florind Belliu, 35, was an actor and aspiring filmmaker originally from Albania.Florind Belliu/Facebook Ornela Shehi and Florind Belliu may have struggled before their deaths, a source said. “Both are pending while the ME awaits additional investigative information,” a spokeswoman said, adding that the signs could include “further testing of remains or investigatory material from the scene.” Shehi was caught on video plunging from the building’s sixth floor first and hitting the alleyway, with Belliu landing seconds later, sources told The Post a day after the couple’s deaths. The couple moved into the building with their two young kids about four months ago, and authorities never received reports of domestic violence related to the couple, according to police sources. Grieving neighbors gather at the scene where an Albanian actor and his wife plummeted to their deaths from their Bronx apartment over the weekend.Kevin C. Downs Neighbors told The Post on Saturday that the pair were a “quiet couple” who “kept to themselves,” and were often seen taking walks — but also that Belliu had been seen visibly angry Friday. “I’ve seen them always buying things for the house, like every day together, with two kids together, we didn’t recognize there was something wrong,” said Shadie Perkaj, the wife of the building’s super. She said Saturday was Belliu’s birthday. Belliu’s pal Elona Caslli mourned her lost friend on Facebook. “What great pain made you [kill yourself]?!’’ Caslli wrote in Albanian. “A multiple tragedy for which there is no word of consolation. God give strength to your children and parents.’’ The cause of death for both Belliu and Shehi remained under investigation Tuesday. Kevin C. Downs The pair both jumped from the sixth floor of their building.(Kevin C. Downs for The New York Belliu was a graduate of the University of Arts in Tirana, Albania, and performed on TV and in the theater before moving to the US, EuroNews Albania reported. As of two years ago, he was working on two books and a movie script he hoped to pitch to Netflix, the report said. 189 What do you think? Post a comment.
