Horrifying footage has emerged of a distraught
father appearing to kill himself with a gun on
Facebook live - because his daughter had chosen
to marry without his approval.
Ayhan Uzun, from Kayseri, central Turkey , can be
seen speaking to the camera and unleashing a
tirade of abuse against his family before putting a
handgun to his head.
The 54-year-old pulls the trigger on the count of
three after saying his final words: 'Goodbye, I am
leaving, take good care of yourselves.'
Mr Uzun immediately collapsed to the floor in the
footage, which has not been independently verified.
He had earlier revealed that the reason for his
suicide was the impending marriage of his
daughter without his permission.
He said: 'I am livestreaming tonight, and it is my
will, I do not want the ones who put me in this
position to attend my funeral.'
Mr Uzun, who was alone at his home, revealed that
he only learned about his daughter's engagement
in a telephone call.
Mr Uzun said: 'On my daughter's happiest day (her
engagement), they called me and said to me:
"Father come have a treat".
'Nobody asked about me. Nobody treated me like a
man. My father-in-law took my place and without
having a right he approved my daughter's
wedding.
'Nobody said this girl's father is alive. Though I
would have waited for my daughter and family to
say to me: "Come father, be with us".
'My wife called me and she told me. I said to her
why didn't you come to tell me, and she said: "We
cannot make a personal visit to you..."
'Maybe some of you will call this a show. I do not
want anybody to go through this thing that I am
going through.
'A little later I will put an end to my life with the gun
I am holding in my hands.'
During his live-streamed speech, friends and
relatives sent comments begging him not to take
his own life.
But Mr Uzun took no notice and apparently went
through with his threat. His family rushed around to
the house to find his dead body.
Police have launched an investigation and Mr
Uzun's body has been taken to a morgue for an
autopsy.
