"Beat & Release": Another Victim of "Smoking in Bed", in Istanbul

(Hürriyet Newspaper, 17 January 2024)














Life's contradictions: sports club manager, yet a smoker. 

In Beşiktaş, Istanbul, Nazlı Hilal Yalman (32), who lived alone in a flat
on the ground floor of  a 5-story apartment building, worked as the 
assistant manager of the Macfit Sports Salon in the Kanyon shopping
center.  Last Friday night at about 2 o'clock in the morning smoke was
seen rising from her flat, prompting neighbors to summon firefighters. 

The fire was put out in short order but the firefighters who entered the
flat found Nazlı Hilal hanım dead on a sofa bed.  Her body was sent to
the police forensics lab for examination.  

Meanwhile, police gathered statements from friends who visited Nazlı
Hilal hanım from time to time and, looking at security videos, they did
not see any suspicious persons entering or leaving the building, either
before or after the fire.  Ultimately, police and firefighters determined
that a cigarette had caused the fire (!).  

Her family took Nazlı Hilal's body from the forensics lab to Bursa for
burial.  In 1997, her father Feyyaz Yalman, a senior police officer in the
Van Security Directorate's anti-terror unit, died from a heart attack while
on duty.

Required reading. Alas, it's too late.
