On a sad day on November 1, Adrienne Shelly’s husband found her hanging from a shower rod in her Manhattan office; police & family assumed the indie actress’ death an unfortunate suicide. Until, that is, 19-year-old construction worker Diego Pillco was arrested Monday in connection to death of Shelly.
Reports are now coming in that Pillco allegedly punched the petite Shelly when she complained about the construction noise he was making. The heavy punch to such a small woman, reports claim, instantly killed her. Pillco has admitted to dragging her body upstairs to her West Village office and positioning her body so that it would make her death appear a suicide.
Adrienne Shelly is best known for her roles in the films Trust, The Unbelievable Truth & Sleeping with Strangers. Shelly is survived by her husband Andy Ostroy and her 3-year-old daughter Sophie. What a sad, unnecessary loss.
