Chilling scene in Bursa! Those who saw what came out of the river with increased flow due to rainfall immediately called 112.

A male body was found in the Nilüfer River, which has a rising flow due to heavy rain and hail in Bursa.

Heavy rain and hail, which lasted for about 1 hour in Bursa, had a negative impact on life. The waters of the Nilüfer River, which passes through the Osmangazi district center, rose.

A MALE BODY FOUND IN THE NILÜFER RIVER

Citizens who saw a body being dragged in the rising flow of the Nilüfer River due to heavy rain reported the situation to the 112 Emergency Call Center. Upon the notification, police teams who came to the area brought the body, which was being carried away by the water, to the shore near Alemdar Neighborhood. The body, whose ownership was investigated whether it belonged to someone who fell into the water due to the rain, was sent to the Bursa Forensic Medicine Institute morgue for identification and determination of the exact cause of death.

"THE BODY MAY BELONG TO SOMEONE WHO WAS PREVIOUSLY MISSING"

Governor Mahmut Demirtaş also came to the area where the body was found and received information from the authorities. Later, Demirtaş made a statement to the journalists, saying that heavy rain was effective after 14:30. Demirtaş stated that more than 500 flood reports were made, stating that more than 40 kilograms of rain fell per square meter.

Demirtaş stated that municipalities, AFAD, State Hydraulic Works, and public institutions have taken action, saying, "There is currently a body, but we think it is probably an old body. In other words, it may belong to someone who was previously missing, not a body caused by the flood or rain, but the crime scene investigation is still ongoing. It is too early to say anything about this." Demirtaş stated that the damage assessment studies in the city are still ongoing and will be shared with the public when they are completed.
