During a sudden downpour in Konak, Izmir province, Turkey, a 23-year-old woman, Özge C.D., was attempting to seek shelter when she stepped on an exposed wire near a sewer, fatally shocking her.

Her friend, 44-year-old İnanç Ö., attempted to immediately rescue her, but ended up suffering a fatal shock himself when he touched her body.

It has been reported that exposed wires on the street have been a problem since at least 2019, when a local newspaper ran a report complaining about the issue. At least one dog had already died from being shocked. According to one eyewitness:

I saw the incident from across the street, I couldn't intervene. The electric wires have been there for six years. I got electrocuted twice in the foot. I barely survived...I have been warning them for how many years. I said, 'There is electricity here, fix it’. They left it unfixed.

In 2014, İnanç had made a Facebook post in which he quoted Albert Camus - "One of the ways to understand a country is to know how people die there."

I see they use the literal 'earthing' technique in Turkey.
