83-year-old Sümbül Topbaş, known for her dream of wearing a wedding dress, found dead in a brushwood area

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.

Sümbül Topbaş was found dead this evening in a brushwood area in the Karslılar neighborhood of the Çukurova district. Upon the notification of citizens, teams arrived at the scene and found the elderly woman's lifeless body. Following the examinations, Topbaş's body was taken to the Adana Forensic Medicine Institute morgue for an autopsy.
