SadaNews - The death of Turkish fashion designer and influencer Ayşe Gül Eraslan has caused widespread shock in Turkey, after she was found dead inside her apartment in the Kağıthane district of Istanbul at the age of 27. She had gained public recognition through her participation in the famous fashion program "This is My Style".

According to Turkish media, her relatives went to her home in the Ortaköy neighborhood after losing contact with her, but they received no response when they knocked on the door, prompting them to call the police. Upon entering the apartment, security teams found Eraslan motionless, and the medical team confirmed her death, transferring her body to the forensic institute for an autopsy to determine the cause of death.

Mysterious Message Before Death

The circulation of the picture of the blood-written message sparked widespread controversy and revived the possibility of suicide among the scenarios being investigated, with no definitive official confirmation yet.

Another one of her posts included poignant phrases where she wrote: "Either I am very sensitive or life is really harsh. I have always given people a great value in my life, and I apologize to my parents. In this life, I have not felt either a mother's love or a father's love; I grew up amidst a lot of violence".

Ongoing Investigations and Testimonies from Close Friends

For her part, her close friend Kardelin Toprak commented on social media that the authorities are treating the death as a "suspicious case," confirming that investigations are still ongoing to uncover the circumstances of what happened.
