A German family of Turkish descent — a couple and their children aged six and three — traveled to Istanbul and reportedly ate at multiple street vendors in Ortakoy. Shortly after eating, all four developed symptoms of food poisoning and were hospitalized; the children and mother later died while the father remains in intensive care. Turkish prosecutors arrested four people on suspicion of negligent homicide and closed one food outlet in Besiktas. Authorities have taken food and environmental samples from locations the family visited and are conducting tests to determine whether the consumed food caused the deaths. Germany's Foreign Office confirmed citizenship and is in contact with local authorities. The incident has raised national concern over street food safety in Bosporus neighborhoods.
