"After eating kumpir, he was found dead in the bathroom."

Bahar Zeyrek, who resides in the Buca district of İzmir, along with her mother Servet Polat and her 11-year-old son Gökhan Zeyrek, ate kumpir at a restaurant in the Efeler neighborhood on December 28. The family went to Buca Seyfi Demirsoy Training and Research Hospital the same day due to complaints of vomiting and diarrhea, and returned home after their treatments.

IT ENDED WITH THE KUMPIR THEY ATE

The mother, daughter, and grandson, whose discomfort continued the next day, returned to the hospital's emergency department. After their treatments, the family was discharged. Two days after the incident, Murat Polat found his mother Servet Polat motionless in the bathroom. Health teams were dispatched to the address upon notification. The teams determined during their checks that Polat had passed away.

4 MORE PEOPLE FILED COMPLAINTS

Family members who went to the police filed a complaint against the establishment. Four other people who claimed to have fallen ill after eating kumpir from the same establishment also went to the police to file a complaint after being discharged from treatment. Following the complaints, the District Directorate of Agriculture and Forestry took samples from the establishment.

"MY FRIENDS HAVE BEEN POISONED TOO"

Servet Polat, whose autopsy procedures were completed at the İzmir Forensic Medicine Institute, was buried in Buca. Family members, who demanded a thorough investigation into the matter, stated that they would initiate legal action based on the detailed autopsy results that would reveal the cause of Polat's death.

Bahar Zeyrek, who ate kumpir from the same establishment, stated that her mother had hypertension and diabetes and that they had eaten from the same place before. Emphasizing that she was very upset, Zeyrek said, "My friends also ate kumpir there, and they got poisoned too. The kumpir we ate had carrot tarator, chicken, and a sausage appetizer. While my mother was eating, she said, 'Bahar, my stomach is very upset.' I told her, 'Mom, if you can't eat, just stop eating,' but she had already eaten. My son also wanted pizza. He ate kumpir until the pizza arrived. My son is still having diarrhea. His pain is still ongoing."

"WE WILL NOT GIVE UP ON THIS CASE"

Zeyrek, who claimed that the establishment was at fault, said, "On the day my mother passed away, the police came to our house. The police teams said that samples had been taken from the establishment by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, and that everything would come to light with the autopsy. We are currently waiting for my mother's autopsy result. After the autopsy result comes out, we will continue our fight. We will not give up on this case. That establishment is currently closed. Those responsible will be held accountable for this."
