Body of a 64-year-old man found in a wooded area in Eskişehir

Police and medical teams were dispatched to a wooded area near the Osmangazi University campus in the Odunpazarı district of Eskişehir, following the discovery of a man lying motionless. According to the information received, citizens walking in the area on the day of the incident noticed a person lying motionless on the ground among the trees. Realizing the severity of the situation, the citizens immediately reported the situation to the 112 Emergency Call Center and asked for help. Medical teams arriving at the scene shortly after determined that the person lying on the ground had passed away. During the initial identification procedures, it was understood that the deceased was 64-year-old Hasan Tutlu.

Police teams arriving at the scene secured the surroundings by pulling up a security cordon. The teams launched a large-scale investigation to search for any possible fingerprints, camera recordings, or witnesses in the vicinity. As per standard procedure in such suspicious deaths or accident cases, crime scene investigation teams were also called. Forensic medicine and crime scene investigation experts conducted detailed physical examinations at the spot where the body was found. A meticulous study was carried out to determine whether there were any signs of a fight, struggle, or other suspicious circumstances in the area.

Following the completion of the examinations by the prosecutor's office and police teams in the area, the lifeless body of Hasan Tutlu was taken to the forensic medicine institution to determine the exact cause of death. The autopsy procedures to be performed by forensic medicine experts are of critical importance in clarifying whether the incident involves an accident, natural causes, or a criminal element. Within the scope of the investigation conducted by the prosecutor's office, statements will be taken from Tutlu's family and the individual's medical history will be examined. The exact cause of death will become clear following the definitive autopsy and laboratory reports.

It is being investigated in detail why Hasan Tutlu came to the scene, who he met with there, or his last movements. Police teams are collecting security camera footage (MOBESE) from the university campus where the incident occurred and its surroundings. Through video analysis to be conducted on the collected camera recordings, efforts are being made to determine who Tutlu had contact with in the last few hours or whether there were other suspicious individuals in the vicinity. If it is revealed that the death has a suspicious nature, the investigation will be expanded to focus on new suspects. Security forces called on citizens who witnessed the incident but have not yet given a statement to contact the police.

Although such unannounced or unexpected deaths cause short-term concern among the local community and the university environment, authorities state that the incident is an isolated case. In cities with a high student population like Eskişehir, the rapid resolution of such cases, especially those occurring in forested and wooded areas, is of great importance for public safety. Local security units state that the investigation process is continuing transparently and that they will inform the public. At the same time, this incident has brought up the need for citizens walking in open areas to be more careful against environmental factors. Authorities remind that the emergency helpline should be called immediately in any emergency and suspicious situation.
