JUMPED INTO THE SEA
Ignoring the pleas of bystanders to "stop, don't do it," the individual threw himself off the bridge. The terrifying moments were captured on camera. Following the incident, fire department teams arrived upon notification and conducted a search along the Beylerbeyi coast, but the man's body was not initially found.

14 CRIMINAL RECORDS
Meanwhile, police teams investigating the incident discovered that the deceased was N.Ç. (29), a relative of Sabri Çelebi—known to the public as "Palalı Sabri" (Sabri the Machete-wielder), who was seen chasing protesters with a machete during the Gezi Park protests. It was determined that N.Ç., who had 14 prior criminal records, was a partner in a nightclub in Beyoğlu and was estranged from his family.
