                                  No way in or out.

Relatives of Hasan Ergin (85), who lived on the second floor of a 
10-story apartment building in Avcılar, Istanbul,  could not reach
him for 5 days so on Sunday they called the building manager for
help. The manager knocked on Ergin's door but there was no response,
although he noted a foul smell emanating from the flat.  

Police were alerted and came to enter the retired mathematics teacher's 
flat but were confronted with refuse and old clothes piled to the ceiling.  
Firefighters broke down the front door but it was blocked by refuse, so 
police broke a window and entered the flat that way.  No one was found 
inside the flat, prompting the police to leave.

Nevertheless, the foul smell continued to bother neighbors who 
called Ergin's relatives.  Police returned to the flat but could still
find no sign of Ergin.  Later, though, at about 10 o'clock at night
Ergin's nephews, who were discarding the clothes piled at the 
front door, found his body.  A police forensics examination 
determined that Ergin had died five days before.  

One way out.

















Teams from the Avcılar Municipality's Cleaning Affairs Directorate
arrived wearing special protective clothing and carted away 10
truckloads of refuse and old clothes. (!)
