Overview
- Emergency crews responded to the Acqualina Resort and Residences in Sunny Isles Beach after reports of an adult male falling from the 28th floor and he was pronounced dead at the scene Monday night.
- Family members and community posts have identified the man as 45-year-old Yakir Levi but Miami-Dade detectives say they have not yet completed official identification.
- The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office Homicide Bureau is leading an unclassified death investigation, which means investigators have not assigned a cause or manner of death until the autopsy is complete.
- Coverage and family tributes describe Levi as the founder of 770 Water Damage Restoration, a former Israeli soldier who appeared on Israeli TV, and a husband and father of three whose remains are reported to be expected to return to Israel for burial.
- Acqualina said it is cooperating with investigators and authorities continue processing the scene, notifying next of kin, and awaiting the medical examiner’s findings before releasing further details.
