Death of Ece İrtem: report points to a heart attack as the cause of the Turkish actress’ death at the age of 35

Recent information has brought to light the possible cause of the death of Turkish actress Ece İrtem, who passed away at the age of 35 at her residence in Istanbul on June 15th. An initial report, released after the first investigations, indicates a direction, while the family and lawyers raise other hypotheses that could change the direction of the investigation.
Initial report indicates probable cause for death
The first results from the Istanbul Legal Medical Institute indicate that actress Ece İrtem had suffered a massive heart attack. This initial survey offers a first answer about the circumstances of his sudden death in the Turkish capital. The information was published by the Habertürk portal, highlighting the importance of this stage in elucidating the case involving the artist, famous for her performance as Hande in the soap opera “Coração de Mãe”.
Developments and family statements about the death
However, the investigative process gained complexity with the emergence of different narratives. Nuriye İrtem, the actress’s mother, gave a statement to the authorities, revealing details that may be relevant to the investigation. She reported that her daughter consumed a lot of alcohol and took considerable doses of antidepressants. This information was added to the survey for an in-depth assessment of the actress’s health conditions and habits.
Defense request to investigate other possible causes
The defense of Ece İrtem’s family, represented by lawyer Uğur Gökkoyun, presented a new element to the investigation. He reported that the actress had been the victim of a monkey attack during a trip to Thailand prior to her death. Given this fact, the legal team formally requested the Public Prosecutor’s Office that the in-depth autopsy include checking for possible complications from the bite. Among the concerns raised are serious infections or sepsis, which, despite being rare, can have fatal consequences. This request aims to ensure that all possible aspects are explored before a definitive conclusion is reached.
Waiting for the final result of the medical examination
Although the preliminary report pointed to a heart attack as the most likely cause of death, the police authorities and the Istanbul Legal Medical Institute are awaiting the issuance of the definitive expert report. This final document will be crucial for the complete elucidation of the factors that contributed to the young artist’s death. The complexity of the information and the various hypotheses raised require a thorough and conclusive analysis. The expectation is that the final report will be able to unify all the loose ends of the investigation, bringing clarity to the family and the public.
