An Albanian actor and his wife who hurtled from the sixth floor of their NYC apartment building may have struggled with each other before the fatal plunge.

Investigators are probing the possibility of a struggle between the couple, a high-ranking police source told the New York Post on Tuesday.

'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 said.  

Florind Belliu, 35, and Ornela Shehi, 28, were found in the courtyard of 2199 Cruger Avenue at Pelham Parkway South in Morris Park section of The Bronx about 9:15 a.m. Saturday, after plunging from the sixth floor.  

Distressing video shows  Shehi falling from the building's sixth floor and landing in the alleyway. Her husband landed seconds later. 

The police source told The Post that a suicide note was not left behind.

The city's Medical Examiner's Office has not yet determined the cause of death for either Belliu or Shehi as it awaits 'additional investigative information.'

Neighbors say they heard shouting just before the couple fell as investigators continued to look into the deadly incident as the tragic result of a possible fight between the pair.

The couple moved into the building with their two young sons about four months ago, neighbors said, and authorities never received reports of domestic violence,  according to police sources. 

Their young sons, ages 6 and 2, were inside the apartment at the time with one neighbor recalling hearing a child cry out, 'Mom! Mom!' after the tragic fall. 

Neighbors told local media that the pair were a 'quiet couple' who 'kept to themselves,' but recall seeing Belliu in an angry state on 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,' Shadie Perkaj, the wife of the building's super, told the Daily News, adding that Saturday was Belliu's birthday.

Belliu, who was an aspiring actor and screenwriter, was a graduate of the University of Arts in Tirana,
