The ships named ALSU and Tuğberk İmamoğlu, which were operating commercially, collided in the Marmara Sea on September 2, and as a result of the collision, the Tuğberk İmamoğlu ship sank and its crew of 10 people disappeared.

Following the incident, an investigation was launched by the Silivri Chief Public Prosecutor's Office. During the search and rescue efforts carried out in the region to reach the missing crew, the lifeless body of a man was found off the coast of Silivri yesterday.

It was determined that the body taken to the Forensic Medicine Institute belonged to the ship's 2nd Captain, Rahmi Temel. Temel's body was received by his family after the procedures were completed.

It was learned that the funeral will be held on Saturday, October 31, at the Hacı Mustafa Beşikçioğlu Mosque in İzmir Karşıyaka, following the noon prayer.

"AFTER I RECEIVED THE NEWS, I FELT AS IF BOILING WATER WAS POURED ON MY HEAD"

Speaking in front of the Forensic Medicine Institute, Rahmi Temel's older brother, Remzi Temel, said: "As a result of a terrible sea accident, 10 of our sailors sank into the waters in the Marmara Sea. Today, on the 57th day - a body was recovered on the 12th day - the second body is my brother."

It was not happy for us, it was sad. Believe me, after I received the news today, I felt like boiling water had been poured on my head. But at least we will have the comfort of being reunited with the body, we will have a grave. "That's why we are here, we are waiting for our funeral to be given," he said.

"IT IS IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO BE DISAPPOINTED"

Stating that the family has been worn out in the 2-month period since the accident, Temel said, "They said he was on the ship yesterday. We received news in the evening. They told us that a body was found. The identification was made today and we were notified.

This incident took place off the coast of Silivri, 35 kilometers away from Silivri. In a deep place called the Marmara Trench. I hope the other victims can be rescued and taken out as well. I hope they will be removed. His family is devastated. He has 2 daughters, he is miserable. They live in Izmir.

Now we will go to Izmir after a while. It's impossible not to be miserable. You have had a loss for 2 months. "You are waiting with hope, even if it is 1 in 10 thousand, but today being told 'The missing has been found' creates greater sadness rather than joy," he said.

"HE WILL RETIRE IN 7 MONTHS"

Recai Yılmaz, the uncle of Abdulbaki Mirzaoğlu, who disappeared after the accident, also came to the Forensic Medicine Institute to support Rahmi Temel's family. Yılmaz said, "Abdulbaki Mirzaoğlu is my nephew. He had been working as a chief cook on these ships for 4 years. He was going to retire in 7 months.

48 years old, father of 8 children. His family did not agree with him working on the ship, because his children were growing up without seeing their father. Searches are also made on the seabed at sea, on the ship or on the side of the ship. We were 10 families, now we are down to 9. "We are waiting in Silivri with 9 families in tents," he said.
