Halit Yukay post from Kıvanç Tatlıtuğ

The lifeless body of businessman Halit Yukay, whose boat he used to sail from Yalova to Bozcaada was found torn apart and half-sunken, was found 19 days later at a depth of 68 meters.

Yukay's actor friend Kıvanç Tatlıtuğ, who previously participated in the search and testified as a witness during the investigation, shared a post on his social media account.

Tatlıtuğ shared, “Thanks to the valuable contributions of the Coastal Safety Directorate and the KIYEM4 boat crew, and the exceptional efforts of the Marine Police and Police Frogman teams from the Samsun, Izmir, Yalova, and Çanakkale regions, our friend Halit Yukay was found yesterday. Coast Guard and Navy teams are currently working diligently to retrieve him from the depths. We extend our sincere gratitude to the Coast Guard, Air and Navy, and Gendarmerie teams for their contributions to this ongoing process.”

Halit Yukay's actor friend Kıvanç Tatlıtuğ also testified as a witness in the investigation. It was reported that the actor, who also participated in the search, was questioned in Istanbul for further information in the investigation conducted by the Yalova Chief Public Prosecutor's Office. In his statement, Tatlıtuğ stated that he had spoken to Halit Yukay on the phone before the accident, but that the line suddenly disconnected during their conversation, and that he could not reach him again. It was also noted that the Yalova Chief Public Prosecutor's Office had issued a decision of "lack of jurisdiction" and transferred the investigation file to the Marmara Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, where the accident occurred.
