Turkey: Woman slips, plunges to death from cliff moments after getting engaged
Moments after her husband-to-be proposed to her the question, a newly engaged woman slipped and plunged to her death off a cliff in Turkey.
The woman was identified as Yesim Demir.
Yesim Demir and her new fiancé, Nizamettin Gursu, were about to celebrate the momentous occasion with a sunset picnic when the 39-year-old plummeted over 100 feet off the steep cliff in Canakkale, a city in northwestern Turkey, on July 6, reports New York Post.
After the moment of tragedy, Gursu rushed back to the scenic cliffside spot at Polente Cape and discovered his fiancée had fallen over the edge.
The grieving man later told local media the pair had chosen the spot to get engaged because they thought it would be romantic.
“We chose it to have a romantic memory after the proposal. We drank some alcohol. Everything happened at once. She lost her balance and fell down,” Gursu told the American newspaper.
