As the investigation into the death of Op. Dr. Özlem Gültekin Çelik, who was found dead in her clinic in Izmir, continues, the results of a forensic examination previously conducted by court order have emerged. It was stated that no narcotic or stimulant substances were found in blood, hair, urine, and nail samples taken in 2026, and only active substances used for treatment purposes were detected. All eyes are now on the final autopsy report to clarify the cause of death.
A critical document that could completely change the course of the case has emerged in the investigation into the suspicious death of Op. Dr. Özlem Gültekin Çelik, who was found dead at her clinic in Izmir. Despite claims of substance addiction made by her estranged husband, news anchor Erhan Çelik, it has been revealed that a previous report from the Council of Forensic Medicine was completely clean.
ERHAN ÇELİK'S COMPLAINT
Within the scope of the judicial investigation conducted by the Izmir Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, the complaint petition submitted by news anchor Erhan Çelik to the prosecutor's office drew attention. Çelik claimed that his wife, whom he was in the process of divorcing, had been illegally using anesthetics and prescription drugs for a long time. Stating that he had made efforts domestically and abroad in the past for his wife's treatment, Çelik submitted the names of the people who supplied these substances and helped administer them, along with evidence, to the judicial authorities. Erhan Çelik also argued that his divorce case and request for custody were based on his wife's situation.
FORENSIC MEDICINE REPORT REFUTES CLAIMS
As the investigation continues at full speed, a document belonging to a different judicial process conducted against Dr. Özlem Gültekin Çelik before her death has added a new dimension to all the claims. In detailed examinations conducted by the Council of Forensic Medicine on blood, hair, urine, and nail samples taken from the late doctor by court order in 2026, it was determined that absolutely no narcotic or stimulant substances were found. The report found only the active substances the doctor used for her own treatment. It was revealed that following this definitive examination, the Izmir Chief Public Prosecutor's Office issued a decision of non-prosecution regarding the file on July 6, 2026.
ATTENTION ON FINAL AUTOPSY RESULT
Following these claims and documents, the Çelik family and Erhan Çelik's lawyers issued a joint statement. The statement emphasized that past legal processes should not be directly associated with the death incident and that speculations in the public did not reflect the truth. The mystery behind the death that occurred on August 14, 2026, will be fully clarified with the final autopsy report to be prepared after detailed toxicological examinations are completed.
