Talk about electoral excitement! At least democracy is alive
and well.
Five citizens suffered heart attacks at their respective polling places in
Rize, Trabzon, Giresun, Manisa and Artvin, evidently from the
excitement related to the presidential and parliamentary elections
yesterday. Four of them died. (!)
Şeref Kurt (64), a polling booth official in İkiztepe village of Pazar
district in Rize, had a heart attack at 9 o' clock yesterday morning
while he was on duty. He was taken to Kaçkar State Hospital, where
he expired.
Aysel Ulusoy (75), who lived in Derecik village in Trabzon's Akçaabat
district, went with her relatives to cast her vote yesterday morning in
ballot box 1093 at the Çevreli Camisi Lokai polling site. Upon entering
the polling booth, though, she suffered a heart attack and died at a
nearby hospital.
Similarly, İbrahim Yıldız (85) of Cibril village in Giresun's Espiye
district, went with relatives to cast his vote in ballot box 1019. But when
he emerged from the pooling booth Yıldız collapsed and died on the spot.
Meanwhile, in Manisa, businessman Zafer Leblebeci (48), a former
member of the Akhisar football team's board, suffered a heart attack and
died as he sat in his car waiting for his parents to cast their votes.
And in Artvin's Çamlık neighborhood, Ergin Asıliskenderoğlu (54)
had a heart attack as he entered the polling booth with his ballot. He
was taken to Artvin State Hospital where he is being treated.
Giresun is just west of Trabzon and Manisa is near Izmir.
