A hunting trip turned fatal after a freak accident over Thanksgiving weekend.
According to a report from the New York Post, 32-year-old Ozgur Gevrekoglu was on a hunting trip with his friends in the Kızlan Plateau, in the Samsun Province of Turkey when tragedy struck as he was packing up to leave.
As Gevrekoglu was packing up his vehicle, he put his dog in the back of the car when its paw accidentally touched the trigger of his shotgun. The shotgun was still loaded and discharged into Gevrekoglu, who was pronounced dead after being transported to the local hospital.
Gevrekoglu had just become a father 10 days before the tragedy.
The report notes that some conspiracies have surfaced regarding Gevrekoglu which suggest the dog story was a cover-up, but there has been no evidence of foul play.
An investigation is underway as authorities attempt to gather more information regarding the shooting and Gevrekoglu’s death.
