The Turkish legal world bows its head with the sudden passing of Gebze Prosecutor's Office prosecutor, Ayhan Uyumaz, who passed away at the age of 49 while in the line of duty. According to reports from Gündem Haber, Uyumaz suffered a heart attack while present in the courtroom.

According to information published in Haber Gündem, the tragic incident occurred at the Gebze First Criminal Court, where Uyumaz was serving as a prosecutor in a hearing. Despite attempts to save his life after he was evacuated to the hospital, his death was confirmed. As noted in Haber Gündem, resuscitation efforts were unsuccessful.

Following the incident, Turkey's Minister of Justice, Akin Gürlek, and Deputy Minister Can Tuncay issued formal condolence messages. It was also reported that an official farewell ceremony will be held for the deceased at the Gebze Courthouse.
