Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP) is the most common of death for people with seizures.

The exact cause of death will be determined after an autopsy at the Forensic Medicine Institution in Istanbul.

Some 25,000 police officers and 50 water cannon trucks (TOMAs) had blocked access to Gezi Park on May 31, the first anniversary of the massive protests.

Only one person, Istanbul deputy Sırrı Süreyya Önder of the People’s Democratic Party (HDP), was able to enter the park on that day, as the heavy-handed measures of the police were followed by several injuries and detentions in Istanbul and Ankara.
