In the investigation regarding the death of the famous artist Güllü, who fell from the window of her fifth-floor apartment in Yalova, the statements given to the prosecutor's office by her children have emerged. Her daughter, Tuyan Ülkem Gülter, said, "We were playing with my mother, and suddenly I heard a noise. When I turned around, I felt like I saw her dress."
On September 26, 2025, in the Çınarcık district of Yalova, the incident occurred where the famous artist Gül Tut, known as "Güllü," fell from the window while having fun on the closed terrace of her fifth-floor apartment with her daughter and a friend, resulting in her death. Following the incident in the apartment on Vali Akı Street in Harmanlar Neighborhood, an investigation was initiated by the Yalova Chief Public Prosecutor's Office.
STATEMENTS REVEALED As part of the investigation, the artist's son Tuğberk Yağız Gülter gave a statement as a complainant, while his daughter Tuyan Ülkem Gülter provided a statement as a complainant-witness. Sultan Nur Ulu, who was present in the house during the incident, was also heard as a witness. The statements taken last Friday were made public.
"WE WERE PLAYING WITH MY MOM, THEN I HEARD A NOISE" Tuyan Ülkem Gülter stated in her testimony that her mother was under the influence of alcohol that day and exhibited cheerful behavior, saying, "My mom used to drink alcohol every day. On the day of the incident, we had gone to my room with Sultan, and my mom was in the living room. A Romani tune was playing, and we were dancing on our feet. When my mom came into the room, she joined us, took my hand, and started dancing. I laughed and said, 'Mom, Sultan doesn't know how to dance the Romani.' Suddenly, I heard a loud noise. When I turned around, I thought I saw my mom's dress. I ran outside and shouted 'mom.' I was so shocked that I don't fully remember what I did."
Gülter added that her mother was receiving ozone therapy due to dilation in her brain vessels and that she lost her balance when she drank alcohol, stating, "My mom had drunk wine that day. She was unsteady in the living room, and her walking had changed. My mom had no enemies. She only had a falling out with her assistant Çiğdem, but they had reconciled shortly before. My mom was very meticulous; she constantly cleaned, and sometimes the floors could be slippery because she mopped them."
"ALLEGATIONS ARE BASELESS" The artist's son Tuğberk Yağız Gülter stated that he was in Istanbul with his fiancée at the time of the incident, saying, "My sister called me at night, screaming, 'Yağız, run, mom fell.' I immediately set off; I was in Çınarcık at 03:09. I could watch the cameras in the house from my phone, and when the police called, I told them the footage was recorded. My mom had no enemies, and her relationship with my brother was quite good. I had only seen Sultan once. The allegations circulating on social media are completely unfounded."
Tuğberk Gülter also mentioned that his mother had suffered a spinal fracture in the past, which affected her balance, adding, "My mom didn't wear her glasses, especially when she drank alcohol, and she walked quickly. She had lost her balance and fallen before. I don't know what my mom meant by 'what is that,' but she would use such expressions when she was drunk. I don't find any situation suspicious regarding this incident."
INVESTIGATION CONTINUES While the death investigation conducted by the Yalova Chief Public Prosecutor's Office is ongoing, the obtained camera footage and witness statements are being examined.
Until the judicial process regarding the death of artist Güllü is completed, the case is being conducted under a confidentiality order.
