Mother Fikriye Usta was seriously injured. It was revealed that champion skier Berkin shared a story on social media from the fireplace at the hotel last night.
ALL THAT'S LEFT IS THIS VIDEO!
The only thing left from champion skier Berkin Usta, who passed away in the fire and represented Turkey at the Beijing Olympics, is a video he recorded and shared on social media last night in Uludağ. First, Berkin recorded footage from the ski area of Uludağ, and then shared images from inside the hotel accompanied by Semicenk's song "Geçiyor Zaman." However, these images became his last.
THE HOTEL MANAGER WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY

THEY PACKED UP LAST NIGHT

It was stated that the investigation by the Public Prosecutor's Office is ongoing and that the bodies of Berkin and Yahya Usta have been taken to the forensic medicine institution's morgue.
ALLEGATION THAT "THE FIRE STARTED FROM THE GRILL"
It was claimed that Yahya Kemal Usta, who operated the ski room and cafeteria of the hotel, was in the hotel with his son Berkin Usta and wife Fikriye Usta during the fire, and that the fire started from a spark that jumped from the grill lit on the hotel's veranda, igniting the plastic area above the veranda.
