Examination reveals ethyl alcohol poisoning as the cause of death of Turkish actress Ece Irtem
The reason for the death of Turkish actress Ece Irtem, known for her roles in successful productions, was finally determined almost a month after the incident. According to the conclusive report issued by the Turkish Forensic Medicine Institute, the artist, found lifeless at home on June 15, at the age of 35, died due to ethyl alcohol poisoning.
The information was widely publicized and ends a series of speculations that surrounded the case since the beginning of the investigation.
During the initial stages of the investigation, a provisional report had suggested a heart attack as the main suspect for the death. The same document, however, ruled out the presence of signs of violence, injuries or poisoning, highlighting the need for additional analyzes to define the final cause.
At the same time, the authorities responsible for the investigation also investigated data that indicated the actress’s continued use of antidepressants.
Investigations into the case gained greater prominence as different narratives about what happened emerged. In her testimony to the authorities, Nuriye Irtem, the artist’s mother, stated that her daughter consumed a lot of alcohol and used high dosages of antidepressants.
On the other hand, the family’s lawyer, Uğur Gökkoyun, asked the Public Prosecutor’s Office to assess the possible relationship between the death and an infection caused by a monkey bite that Ece suffered during a trip to Thailand. This theory considered unusual complications, such as sepsis, but was not supported in the final opinion.
Ece Irtem died one day after celebrating his 35th birthday. According to information published by the Turkish media at that time, she felt unwell in the morning and passed away at her home, accompanied by her mother. The burial took place two days later, in the city of Kuşadası, located in western Turkey.
In Brazil, Ece gained recognition for her role as Hande in the Turkish soap opera “Coração de Mãe”, shown on Record. In her homeland, she also participated in several series and films. His death generated a deep commotion among admirers and co-workers.
