Her niece Elif Karanfil, who accepted condolences, said, "She had cancer; it had recurred but showed no symptoms. We learned that the cancer had completely spread in the last month and a half. Unfortunately, we are here today. You all already knew about the 1.5-month process, the tests, the hospital, the intensive care, and that she was intubated. Unfortunately, we lost her within 10 days."
