Body found 56 days after sinking
On Oct 2, search teams have found an unidentified man’s body off Silivri, Istanbul, 56 days after the 'Tuğberk İmamoğlu' sank in the Sea of Marmara collision. Forensic Medicine Institute tests will establish his identity, cause of death and any crew link. Captain Yaşar Kayhan’s body was found 5 kilometers from the collision site on Sep 14 and identified on Sep 15. The nine other crew members had remained missing. The ship, carrying 4,199 tons of steel coils from southern İskenderun to the Black Sea port Karadeniz Ereğli, collided with the tanker 'Alsu' on Sep 2 at around 3 a.m., while the tanker was sailing from northwestern Kocaeli to western Aliağa. The Navy vessel TCG Akın located the wreck at a depth of 720 meters on Sep 4. The 'Alsu’s captain Ahmet Erarslan and the 3rd officer Murat Evciman were remanded on Se. 3. A preliminary report cited failures of supervision and collision avoidance, respectively. Four other suspects were facing judicial supervision.
