Israeli-American Reality TV Star Plunges To Death From 28th Floor of Miami Hotel
Israeli-American Reality TV Star
Falls To Death From Hotel’s 28th Floor
Published
Israeli-American reality TV star Yakir Levi fell to his death from the 28th floor of a luxury hotel in Florida … and we’re told investigators do not suspect foul play.
Police in Sunny Isles Beach and Miami-Dade Fire Rescue responded to the Acqualina Resort and Residences shortly after 9:30 PM Monday … where Levi was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators say Levi was alone at the time of the fall. The investigation remains ongoing … with authorities working alongside the Miami-Dade Medical Examiner to determine his cause and manner of death.
Levi was famous for starring in the Israeli Channel 13 docuseries “The Americans” — which follows Israeli expats chasing the American Dream while staying connected to their homeland.
His story certainly fit the show … he said he arrived in the U.S. with just $300 before turning it into millions through a successful business restoring properties damaged by fires, floods and other disasters.
A woman who says she’s Levi’s sister shared an emotional tribute on Facebook … writing, “My dear precious brother. I entrust his soul to the Creator. May someone wake me up from this crazy nightmare.”
Levi — who was born in Ramla, Israel — is survived by his wife and three children. His remains are expected to be returned to Israel for burial.
He was 45.
RIP
