Mysterious death in Turkey: British woman dies, heart removed without consent

A 28-year-old British woman named Beth has died under mysterious circumstances while on holiday in Turkey. How Picture Reportedly, the family from Portsmouth traveled to Turkey on April 27th. Shortly after arrival, Beth felt unwell and was rushed to hospital, where she was transferred to the intensive care unit.

Her husband, Luke, was not allowed to visit her and the Turkish authorities did not inform him of the seriousness of her situation. Tragically, Beth became delirious and died, although the exact circumstances of her death remained unclear. After her death, Beth's heart was removed without her husband's consent. Luke was briefly accused by authorities of poisoning his wife, but he was eventually released. The hospital is currently under investigation for negligence.

Family in need

Luke, who has two children aged 8 and 5, now faces the difficult task of caring for his family alone. The situation is traumatic for him and his children. To support the bereaved, the family is collecting donations through a “GoFundMe” page.

In another tragic incident, Ece Gürel, a 36-year-old landscape architect, was found in the Belgrade Forest four days after she disappeared and died in hospital. According to a preliminary autopsy report, she died of hypothermia due to prolonged exposure to cold. It remains unclear why she was there and what she was doing there.

Spiritual practices in focus

Gürel was interested in spiritual practices. According to media reports, she had taken part in a “witchcraft” course. There is speculation that possible practices such as “scream therapy” or the use of ayahuasca, a hallucinogenic plant, played a role during their stay in the forest. Hurriyet reports that demand for esoteric practices has increased on social media.

In this context, Hale Özen, the instructor of the “Witchcraft” course, was arrested on suspicion of “spreading false information” and “skilled fraud.” Özen denies the allegations and assures that the course had nothing to do with witchcraft. Psychiatrist Hakan Türkçapar warns of possible spiritual scams that can affect particularly vulnerable people.

The investigation into Gürel's death and the circumstances of her stay in the Belgrade Forest continues, while the debate over spiritual trends and their risks continues to flare up.
