Cem Yılmaz hospitalized after heart attack in Çanakkale
Turkish comedian Cem Yılmaz was hospitalized in Çanakkale after experiencing chest pain. Following initial treatment at Ayvacık State Hospital, he was transferred to Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University Hospital, where he underwent angiography, balloon, and stent procedures. Health Minister Kemal Memişoğlu and university officials confirmed that his general condition is stable and improving, with doctors noting he is currently in coronary intensive care.
Yılmaz’s medical situation has sparked renewed public interest in the ‘Frank sign’—a diagonal crease on the earlobe that some medical studies suggest may correlate with coronary artery disease. Medical experts clarified that while the sign is a subject of research regarding vascular elasticity and aging, it is not a definitive standalone diagnostic tool for heart disease.
Following the news, Yılmaz’s brother, Can Yılmaz, expressed frustration on social media regarding derogatory comments directed at the comedian during his health crisis.
