The remains identified as belonging to economist Korhan Berzeg, who had been missing since leaving his home for a morning walk in the Armutlu neighborhood of Gönen, Balıkesir, last June, have been laid to rest following a funeral ceremony.
The examination of the skull and other bone fragments, which were found approximately 3.5 kilometers from Armutlu and determined to belong to Berzeg, has been completed at the Istanbul Council of Forensic Medicine.

The bones identified as belonging to Berzeg were brought to the Gönen District Gendarmerie Command and handed over to the economist's wife, Angela Berzeg, and his daughters, Nisa and Sibel.
Following the funeral prayer held at the Armutlu Mosque, Korhan Berzeg was laid to rest in the neighborhood cemetery next to the grave of his father, Muhsin Berzeg.
