(Hürriyet Newspaper, 11 July 2025)















A Gendarmerie team patrolling the TEM highway the night 
before last at about 2200 hours, noticed a car with German
plates - BB SE 889 - parked in the far left lane, which had
been closed to traffic for road repairs.  Inside the car by 
herself was E.G. (65).  

She told the Gendarmes that she and her husband Selim Güzel 
(70) were en route to Ankara from Germany and that her husband, 
needing a "bathroom break" had pulled the car over and walked 
toward a nearby rest stop/restaurant on the side of the highway
headed towards Ankara.  

However (!), more than an hour had passed and Selim bey had
not returned.  Additional Gendarmerie units were called to the
scene and a search began, augmented by AFAD (search &
rescue) and Gendarmerie commandos.  Night-vision equipped
drones and sniffer dogs joined the search, too.

Thinking that perhaps Selim bey had walked toward a rest stop
on the side of the highway headed to Istanbul, the searchers 
entered a wooded area on that side.  

The search for Selim bey lasted all night and at 0530 hours
yesterday morning he was found exhausted in the woods in 
back of the rest stop - he had climed over a barb wire fence to 
get into the woods.  Selim bey was taken to Hendek State
Hospital but he could not be saved.  

Initial evaluations indicate that there was no foul play involved
in Selim bey's demise, but an autopsy will be performed to 
pinpoint the exact cause of death
