Other theories suggested that the tragic deaths may have been down to a possible poisonous gas leak from a cylinder they kept for lighting. purposes. The only survivor was the couple's eldest son, Kemal Zeyat, 19, who had been out at work in the north-western city of Istanbul.

When they went to check if everything was ok, they discovered the bodies of the children, aged between 3 and 18 years old, and of the parents. Neighbour Ates Demir, 43, said: 'Nobody answered the door, so we broke it down. They looked so peaceful, lying there as if they were asleep, but they didn't wake up and we couldn't see any signs of breathing. 'We called an ambulance but all they could do was to confirm everyone was dead.' An investigation is currently under way into the cause of their deaths, according to village head Idris Ceri, 59. The bodies have been taken to Doğubayazit State Hospital's morgue for autopsy.
