Missing British woman found dead on the side of road in Turkey
A British pensioner has been found dead on the side of a road in the Turkish province of Antalya.
Local media reported the unnamed 74-year-old woman, who has Alzheimer’s, was discovered unresponsive close to a wooded area, near the Asmaca district.
Her body was spotted by passersby two days after she was reported missing.
Emergency services rushed to the scene but she was pronounced dead, but the cause is yet to be determined.
A post-mortem examination is due to be carried out by coroners at the morgue later this week.
Antalya is a popular resort for Brits in Turkey’s southern Mediterranean region.
But it is unclear if the pensioner lived there or had travelled to the country for a holiday.
