     Gunshot to the head. Yes, a rather suspicious death...

Murat Atlı (45) was found shot in the head at a cafe in Sarıyer. Relatives 
of Atlı, who was married and a father of three, rushed to the scene upon 
hearing the news of his death. One of the relatives, overcome with grief 
and unable to see the body, climbed onto the roof of the cafe.  The 
distraught individual, in tears, was eventually persuaded to come down 
by police officers. Police have launched an investigation into the 
suspicious (!) death.

The incident occurred on Sunday, January 4th, around 2:30 PM in 
İstinye. According to the information received, Atlı arrived at a cafe 
on the waterfront in the afternoon. Shortly afterwards, gunshots were 
heard coming from the cafe, and citizens rushed to the scene.

Citizens who saw Atlı lying on the ground with a gunshot wound to 
the head notified the medical teams, who arrived at the scene and 
determined that Atlı had died. Following this, police teams launched 
an investigation into the incident. While crime scene investigation 
teams and the public prosecutor were conducting their work, Atlı's
relatives arrived at the scene.

Relatives who rushed to the scene wanted to see Atlı's body. However, 
since the shop's shutters were closed, one of them climbed onto the
roof. Upon seeing Atlı's body, he suffered a nervous breakdown
on the roof. The police teams managed to calm him down with 
difficulty, and then he was brought down from the roof. After the 
examination, Atlı's body was taken to the Forensic Medicine Institute 
morgue, and the police launched an investigation into the suspicious 
death.
