Authorities in Istanbul are investigating the possibility that a German family of four, including two children, succumbed to a toxic chemical found in their hotel room at the Harbour Suites Old City Hotel. The owner of the establishment and two employees have been detained as part of the ongoing inquiry into the tragic incident, which claimed the lives of the family members this month.
The family, who were visiting Turkey for vacation, had booked a room at the Harbour Suites Old City Hotel, a popular tourist destination in Istanbul’s historic district. Initial reports suggested that the family members may have been exposed to a harmful substance, leading to their deaths. Investigators are now examining the hotel’s security protocols, room maintenance procedures, and any potential negligence that may have contributed to the incident.
Officials have not yet confirmed the exact cause of the deaths, but the presence of a toxic chemical in the hotel room has raised concerns about the safety of the establishment. The hotel owner, along with two employees, have been detained for questioning, and a formal investigation is underway to determine the circumstances surrounding the tragic incident.
