The young person who lost their life in the fire had started working 20 days ago.

A fire broke out yesterday around 10:00 PM for an undetermined reason in the vehicle painting workshop located on Şehit Komando Er Mustafa Göktür Street in the Güzelyurt neighborhood of Antalya. Upon notification, a large number of firefighters, police, and medical teams were dispatched to the scene. The teams struggled for a long time to extinguish the fire, which frequently experienced explosions due to paint and flammable materials. After approximately 2 hours of work, the flames were brought under control. The workplace, along with a bus, minibus, and car that caught fire, was reduced to ashes.

THE YOUNG MAN'S BODY WAS FOUND

Upon receiving information that there was a person in the workplace, the teams simultaneously initiated a search operation alongside the extinguishing efforts. The teams encountered the lifeless body of Doğan Diken (24) in one section of the workplace. Diken's body was taken to the Antalya Forensic Medicine Institute morgue for autopsy after the work of the prosecutor and crime scene investigation teams.

STARTED WORKING 20 DAYS AGO

While the investigation regarding the fire is ongoing, the business owner Ayhan Aytin described the events, saying, "I came to close my shop, I asked my employee if he was going to leave. He said, 'Brother, I'm going to leave now.' He had the spare key and opened the shop in the mornings. When I went home to eat, my other employee called and said smoke was coming from the workplace. Then the fire department came and intervened in the fire. He had started working 20 days ago. When we learned he was inside while it was burning, we didn't care about the shop, we tried to save him with my wife. I usually used him in the cake business. He said, 'I have no family,' he didn't even have a phone. His uncle called, they will take his funeral. It was a great disaster."

"I AM VERY SORRY"

Aytin, who stated that the damage caused by the fire was over 10 million lira, said, "I am not sad about this, I am sad about the brother who died. He was in the wrong place and time. I am very sorry."
