A British pensioner was found dead by the side of the road in the Turkish province of Antalya.
The unnamed 74-year-old Alzheimer’s patient was apparently discovered unconscious close to a forest area, close to the Asmaca neighbourhood. She has been identified as having the illness by the local media.
Within two days of her absence, onlookers found her body.
Emergency services responded swiftly, but the cause of her death has not yet been determined.
Coroners are scheduled to perform a post-mortem examination at the mortuary later this week.
In Turkey‘s southern Mediterranean region, Antalya is a favourite vacation destination for Britons.
However, it’s unclear if the pensioner was a resident or had just visited for a vacation.
