Police officer found dead in new home in Turkey

Police officer Özgür Akçay was found dead in his apartment in the Yeniköy Mahallesi neighborhood on Thursday afternoon. Akçay, a father of two, had recently transferred from Gümüşhane to the Döşemealtı District Police Department and had moved into his new home just three days before the discovery.

His brother became concerned after being unable to reach Akçay. Upon visiting the apartment, and finding the door unresponsive, he looked through the balcony window using a forklift and saw Akçay lying motionless on the floor. Police and medical teams were dispatched to the scene following the report.

Upon entering the apartment with the help of a locksmith, it was confirmed that Özgür Akçay had died. He had a single gunshot wound to the head. Akçay's body was taken to the Antalya Forensic Medicine Institute morgue after initial examinations.

It was reported that Akçay's wife and two children were in Burdur and were informed of the situation, traveling to the district afterward. An investigation into the incident has been initiated.
