Fashion Influencer Dead At 27 Just An Hour After Friend Last Saw Her - Read Her Cryptic Final Posts

Fashion influencer and popular Turkish designer Ayşegül Eraslan has sadly passed away.

On Friday, per local outlet Sözcü, the influencer was visited by her pal, actor Sunay Kurtuluș. Per police reports out of Turkey, they had an argument that ended with a “playful slap” from Ayşegül before Sunay went on his way. Tragically, this would be the last time anyone saw the fashionista alive.

After loved ones failed to get ahold of her, police forced entry into her home and found her dead. The time of her death, per reports, was just an hour after Sunay left her place. She was just 27 years old.

In an Instagram statement, lawyers for Sunay said they did question him, but assured everyone it was just part of the ongoing investigation. A translated message from Turkish said he “has provided the necessary statements to the relevant authorities from the very beginning of the process” and he was “not at the scene of the incident at the time it occurred”:

“We are deeply saddened by the passing of Ayşegül Eraslan. We pray for God’s mercy upon her and offer our condolences to her family, relatives, and loved ones.”

So what happened? Well, authorities don’t yet know. They’re currently waiting on an autopsy report from Istanbul Forensic Medicine Institute, but before her death, Ayşegül did make some cryptic posts.

Per The US Sun, she posted photos of bloodied notes to her Stories, writing in one of them:

“There are things I could not share with you, things you didn’t know, things I never told you. The only thing I know is that I was a very good person. I never wronged anyone.”

A second note revealed she had “never known the love of a mother or a father” and that she was “raised with a great deal of violence”. Heart-wrenching…

In a final message, she pleaded for someone to care for her beloved dogs. This is when her loved ones stopped being able to get in contact with her. Devastating.

Turkish fans got to know Ayşegül from her appearance on the popular local show İşte Benim Stilim AKA This Is My Style. From there, she garnered a following of over 360,000 on her social media, and even dipped her toes into designing Haute Couture.

Our heart is with Ayşegül’s family, loved ones, and friends. May she rest in peace.
