Suspicious death in prison: Necati Gürcan has passed away

The lifeless body of Necati Gürcan, an inmate at the H-Type Closed Penal Institution in Bursa, has been found. Upon notification by prison staff who discovered Gürcan hanging in his cell, authorities arrived at the scene and confirmed that the inmate had passed away.

Gürcan’s body was transferred to the Forensic Medicine Institute for autopsy procedures. It was stated that the autopsy, conducted in accordance with the Minnesota Protocol, revealed no signs of assault or physical trauma on the inmate's body. Initial findings suggest that death may have occurred due to atypical hanging, which caused a fracture in the hyoid bone. However, the exact cause of death will be determined following a detailed autopsy and further examinations.

It has been learned that the prosecutor's office has launched a judicial investigation into the incident. While the suspicious death in the prison has drawn public attention, authorities announced that a meticulous investigation is being conducted into the matter.
