Sümbül Topbaş, who waited a lifetime for love and never married anyone else after being unable to wed her platonic love, Cabbar Gani, in her youth, made headlines in Adana last year with a heartwarming event. After she told the nursing home where she resided that her greatest dream was "to wear a wedding dress just once," authorities and philanthropists mobilized, and her dream was turned into reality with a symbolic wedding.
The joy in the eyes of Topbaş, who entered the wedding hall in a white wedding dress accompanied by drums and zurna, moved everyone who watched that moment.

Following the examinations, Topbaş's body was taken to the Adana Forensic Medicine Institute morgue for an autopsy.
IT IS UNKNOWN WHY SHE LEFT THE NURSING HOME
