The friend of the late journalist Kastriot Myftaraj, lawyer Kastriot Frasheri reveals details from the last days of the journalist's life and raises doubts about the suicide track.
Lawyer Frashëri says that Muftaraj had never shown any sign of depression or despair. As for the media reports that Myftaraj was suffering from brain cancer, his lawyer friend says that the scanner he performed a while ago at QSUT had detected a mass, but still they did not give a diagnosis.
"That's why we can't believe that you could fly from the balcony of the fourth floor of the building where you lived to the other world while the mother was lying down from sciatica pains in her room", writes lawyer Kastriot Frashëri, among other things.
His full response:

Tributes on July 8, 2022, 9:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. at the "Alba 2000" Funeral Agency on Dibra Street, the burial will take place at the Sharra Cemetery in Kombinat
Farewell to a friend and serious analyst
You, my friend, left this world in the most undeserved and unbelievable way.
You ruined my day, Kaço... With hundreds of calls from mutual friends, acquaintances and strangers, but also from your colleagues in the media, they flooded my phone without stopping.
I am speechless! I didn't know what to say! How could you, Kastriot Myftaraj, perform such an act without showing any signs of depression or despair?! Some serious media portals had fabricated incredible stories. I wanted to believe you but I couldn't. Eh, how could you believe this knowing your strength of character, wisdom and kindness. This forced me to go to your house as soon as the news broke and I had to lie to my mother, which I had never done in my life, that I saw you waiting at the door anxiously, not telling your mother what had happened. tired of the weight of the years, who believed what they had told her that you had run away to the emergency room for some tests not only without saying anything to her, but also leaving the door open...
Two decades is not a short time to know a friend. Two famous Kastriots often kindly teased us about our acquaintances, both different and close. You were a special person with all human qualities, but knowledge was what stood out above the human encyclopedia. There were pros and cons about which we often argued vigorously. I was your biggest critic for many things you wrote even when you went too far, especially when I found out about them from others who sent me the relevant link. Sometimes you hurt my friends by putting me in a difficult position in front of them, although I had no prior information about this. I often say don't trust every story that comes your way so ask me before you publish it, let me be the editor,
Two weeks ago, I was a daily witness to your almost week-long examination at QSUT, engaging our best doctors to treat you for an unexpected symptom where the MRI detected a mass in the head but could not make a diagnosis without performing physical examinations. further detailed, as some media declared today the bad disease in the most vulgar way. During these two weeks, we talked every day for two or three times on the phone and you never showed me any sign of depression or despair, on the contrary, the strength, courage and responsibility to continue the examinations further. In you, my friend, you did not see any trace of experiencing this situation of which I am a witness! Circumstances made it so that my last phone call with you, my friend, was two days ago, and while I was asking you about the progress of the tests and presenting you some of the fees for the examinations in some hospitals outside Albania, I encountered your determination to carry out these abroad in Italy or Switzerland, as you were not sure about the treatment here. You stated all this calmly and decisively and that you were able to cover the financial costs, even if more money was needed, you told me with great certainty that some benefactors are ready to cover any necessary expenses that may arise. You even had guarantees of financial support from the President and the management staff where you worked at RTV ORA NEËS, who with tears in their eyes couldn't believe this happening to a strong and courageous man. The same opinion was shared by the publisher of SOT newspaper Agjencia E Lajmeve Sot. None of those who knew him closely believed this happened.
It is enough to understand that in this story there is no place for either despair or depression. Although some media say that you were absent from television for three weeks, but you had closed the program as many others have done in other media to return to the next season in September at RTV ORA NEËS. We never saw you in a state of stress or despair. Can a man in two hours prepare his plan in two hours if we refer to the last phone call I learned you had with your friend N. Kulla, who detected no sign of despair, only your determination to go outside to be diagnosed in two days . That's why we can't believe that you could fly from the balcony of the fourth floor of the building where you lived to the other world while mother was lying in her room with sciatica. Eh, how could you do that to your nearly century-old mother who kept her ears perked up throughout the minutes of your show, worried that you had no customs for ideas, when you were willing to help anyone? You were at home and hadn't been out for almost 24 hours and you weren't a drunk. I don't believe this story although it seems to be real with the marks on the torture and no trace above! Let the justice bodies do their job!
One thing is irreversible that you, our friend, will no longer be near us, where you used to like to argue for hours, beating the night with every corner in conversations and debates that never ended. You knew everything... Maybe that's what you were born for. So what happened? Ike suddenly 56 years old at the peak of age and creativity. Rest in Peace Kastriot!
Condolences to the family, relatives and all friends!
Goodbye friend we can not say!
