73-year-old Fatma Adıbelli, who lived in Kayseri, passed away last Sunday due to a heart attack. The woman's body, taken to the morgue located in the city cemetery by her relatives, was postponed until Tuesday for her children living abroad to arrive. When Fatma Adıbelli's relatives arrived at the morgue yesterday morning, they noticed that the body was not there. Upon starting to investigate, they learned that Fatma Adıbelli's body had been taken to Ovakent, a town in the Boğazlıyan district of Yozgat, and buried there. The mourners who went to Ovakent saw the belongings that Fatma Adıbelli had on her when she passed away. Following this, with a prosecutor's order, the grave was opened under the supervision of the gendarmerie, and the deceased Adıbelli's body was taken back to Kayseri.
THEY THOUGHT SHE WAS THEIR MOTHER
Relatives of Adıbelli, who contacted the mourners in Ovakent, explained the situation. It was learned that the mourners mistakenly took Fatma Adıbelli, thinking she was their mother.
BURIED IN HER HOMETOWN
A funeral prayer was held for Fatma Adıbelli at the Hulusi Akar Mosque. The deceased's body was buried in the Başakpınar neighborhood of the Talas district after the funeral prayer.
“THEY TOOK HER SAYING 'OUR MOTHER' AND BURIED HER”
Bülent Ersöz, a relative of Fatma Adıbelli, recounted the incident, saying, "We took our deceased on Sunday and brought her here. Since her children were abroad, we were going to bury her on Tuesday. They arrived as well. The procedures were completed yesterday. When we came to receive the body, we saw that our body was not in the morgue. In our investigation, we learned that it was confused with another body in Ovakent, Yozgat. We went there and, with the prosecutor's instruction, we took our body under the supervision of the gendarmerie. Our body had been buried there. We will file the necessary complaints. The mourners in Ovakent took her saying 'our mother' and buried her. They believe our body has been taken, but the body is still here. We recognized our body by her clothes. They had placed her belongings there after washing her," he said.
