A couple have found a corpse in the bedroom of their house in western Turkey after they returned from a weekend holiday.

The family, who declined to be named, found the young man in the bedroom of their house in the Bahçelievler neighborhood of Kocaeli province’s Kartepe district on May 3, according to Doğan News Agency. Shocked, they tried to help the young man get on his feet before calling an ambulance. The medical personnel who quickly arrived discovered the man was dead.

Police, who launched an investigation, identified the dead man as Ünal Gümüş, a 19-year-old drug addict who is thought to have entered the house through a window that the family had left open while they were away on their weekend trip.
