Jacqueline Anne Sutton, a 50-year old British passenger, committed suicide in Istanbul's Atatürk Airport after missing her flight. Sutton arrived in Atatürk Airport from London with Turkish Airlines flight TK-1986 at 10:00 p.m. Saturday night and supposed to fly to northern Iraqi city of Irbil at 00.15 on early Sunday. However, Sutton missed her flight and applied to transit passenger desk to find out what to do.
Upon receiving the answer that she needs to buy a new ticket as she missed flight, she replied booking staff that she does not have any money, and after crying for a while, she went to one of the toilets in the airport.
Sutton's body was later found by three Russian passengers hung to the toilet door by shoelaces, and transferred to the forensic medicine institution morgue after investigation by police units. It is understood Ms Sutton - known as Jacky - had worked in Iraq for several years. Her body was reported to have been found in a toilet in the airport in the early hours of this morning. A Foreign Office spokesman said: "We can confirm the death of a British national in Istanbul.
"We are providing consular assistance to the family at this time."
