A Shocking Loss: Turkish Mayor Electrocuted at Home
Turkish political figure succumbs to electric shock and passes away.
In a tragic turn of events, Turkish politician Ferdi Zeyrek met his untimely end after an electrical incident at his home. The news has sent shockwaves throughout Turkey.
According to reports, Zeyrek, a member of the social-democratic CHP and the Mayor of Manisa, suffered severe electrocution while inspecting a malfunction in his home swimming pool's electrical system. This unfortunate incident occurred when he entered the pool's underground equipment area to investigate a fault in the pool motor system.
Initial reports suggested that Zeyrek's death was due to a sudden cardiac arrest. However, a detailed investigation by a team of engineers revealed that the primary cause of death was electrocution resulting from multiple safety failures in the pool's electrical system. The failures included faulty wiring, missing or malfunctioning residual-current devices (RCDs), corrosion, moisture at cable connections, and non-compliance with international safety standards.
Upon hearing the devastating news, Zeyrek's colleague, Ekrem Imamoglu, penned a heartfelt message expressing his grief. "My heart aches so much that I can't describe it. I'm so sorry," wrote Imamoglu. He further expressed his deep condolences to Zeyrek's family, relatives, and fellow citizens in Manisa.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan also expressed his condolences, describing Zeyrek's death as a "tragic accident." Many other politicians and citizens paid their respects to the late mayor.
The tragedy underscores the importance of adhering to safety standards, particularly when dealing with electrical systems. May Ferdi Zeyrek rest in peace, and may his family find the strength to carry on.
