The cause of death for Turkish actress Ece İrtem has been officially determined as ethyl alcohol intoxication, according to the final report from the Institute of Legal Medicine. The 35-year-old actress was found dead at her home on June 15. An initial preliminary report had suggested a heart attack as the main hypothesis and noted no signs of aggression, trauma, or poisoning, but stated the definitive cause would depend on additional tests. The investigation gained attention as different hypotheses emerged. The actress's mother, Nuriye İrtem, told authorities that her daughter consumed large amounts of alcohol and used high doses of antidepressants. The family's lawyer, Uğur Gökkoyun, had previously revealed that Ece was bitten by a monkey during a trip to Thailand and requested that the autopsy investigate the possibility of complications from the injury, such as severe infection or sepsis.
