ROCK wildman Pete Doherty had a blazing row that "became physical" with an actor who fell to his death from a balcony shortly afterwards. The ruck with Mark Blanco, 30, flared at a party in a grotty East London flat.Babyshambles singer Doherty, 27, disappeared from the flat owned by his pal Paul Roundhill before cops arrived -- and CARRIED ON partying elsewhere. The tragedy happened early on Sunday -- the day before junkie Doherty was fined £770 for possessing drugs.
There is no suggestion Doherty was involved in Blanco's death.
A source said: "Blanco arrived at Paul's a little drunk. He and Pete started to niggle each other.
"It turned into a full blown argument, with insults being thrown on both sides. The argument got physical and Roundhill stepped in to break it up. He then asked Blanco to leave."A few minutes later some lads came rushing up to say there was a man lying in the street."
Blanco, a 6ft 4in amateur actor and IT worker, was found outside the Whitechapel flat at 1am. He was rushed to hospital, where he died yesterday morning. Cops are treating his death as "unexplained" and plan to quiz Kate Moss's boyfriend Doherty.
I'm sure the two incidents were COMPLETELY unrelated. Seriously, Pete's the kind of guy who is so f*cked up on drugs that he can barely organize a trip to the loo to vomit and then start all over again.

I know where that flat is, it isn't grotty & neither is a lot of East London which has almost been entirely gentrified. Not a moan, just a point of accuracy.
