A male corpse was found near the sand pit of the Meriç River in Edirne. The incident occurred in the morning near the sand pit of the Meriç River. The workers at the sand pit noticed a man lying motionless on the surface of the river. Upon the workers' notification, police, gendarmerie, AFAD, and health teams were dispatched to the area. It was determined that the person brought to the shore by AFAD teams had lost his life, and no identification was found on him.

IDENTIFICATION CARD FOUND

The corpse, which only had a mobile phone and an Istanbulkart, was taken to the Trakya University Medical Faculty morgue for an autopsy. Fisherman Yüksel Adalı said, "I was fishing here. They reported it from the sand pit. AFAD came, the gendarmerie came. After a while, they retrieved the body. My guess is that he is an illegal immigrant." The gendarmerie has initiated work to identify the deceased.
