Serhat Mustafa Kılıç found dead in Istanbul apartment

Turkish actor Serhat Mustafa Kılıç, known for his roles in popular series such as ‘Ezel’ and ‘Seksenler’, was found dead in his apartment in the Kağıthane district of Istanbul. His body was discovered by his longtime girlfriend, Özlem Esmergül, after he had not been in contact for several days.

Police have launched an investigation into the death, which is currently being treated as suspicious. While initial examinations by medical teams found no open wounds or signs of physical struggle, investigators noted bruising around the actor's eyes, arms, and legs. Additionally, police reported finding alcohol and substances suspected to be drugs at the scene, including cannabis and rolling papers.

Kılıç, 51, had been facing health challenges, including lymphatic cancer and a neck hernia that had recently limited his ability to perform action scenes. His girlfriend stated that he had been in significant pain and had been taking various medications. A memorial service was held at the Harbiye Muhsin Ertuğrul Stage, and his funeral is scheduled to take place in Ankara. The exact cause of death remains pending the results of an autopsy and toxicology reports.
