They wold regularly post updates on their lives and trips around the world to social media.
Oğuzhan would usually appear on his fans' streams every day - but on the day of his death announced he was taking an out-of-character break.
He wrote on his Instagram story: "Friends, I woke up today feeling pretty exhausted and lacking in energy.

"I think both Fenerbahçe (Turkish football club) and the intensive days of streaming have worn me out. I'm taking today off.
"If I feel better tomorrow, we'll catch up on everything. Please excuse the sudden cancellation. See you soon."
But his fans would never watch Oğuzhan live again.

TOWIE star Ricky Rayment announces tragic news that his sister has passed away after he split from Katie McGlynn
Ricky Rayment announced the tragic news that his sister had passed away in an update on Wednesday. His sister, make up artist Lisa Kempley passed away on July 25 at age the of 56, with the family holding her funeral service this week. The TOWIE star, 34, who recently split from Coronation Street actress Katie McGlynn, 31, shared a photo of the order of service to his Instagram Story. Ricky wrote: 'RIP my beautiful sister. You got the send off you deserved. Love you forever.' A statement to her business page, posted last month said: 'We are saddened to announce that our lovely Lisa passed away on Friday 25th July. 'We know she was truly loved by friends and clients alike and therefore want to extend an open invitation to attend her funeral service.' It added: 'Irreplaceable wife, mum, sister, daughter, friend and eyebrow queen.' The sad news comes just weeks after Ricky split from his girlfriend Katie after two years together. The couple, who started dating after meeting on a cruise ship in 2023, have gone their separate ways despite sparking engagement speculation when Katie was pictured wearing a diamond ring last Valentine's Day. Katie, who left Corrie in 2022 after her character Sinead Tinker died of cervical cancer, and Ricky said they 'couldn't be happier' during their first interview as a couple last year. But in recent months, the pair have called time on their year-long romance, which saw Katie, 31, who's Manchester based, and Ricky, who lives in Essex, commit to each other despite living in different cities. A source revealed to MailOnline: 'Katie and Ricky have ended their romance, they're still friends and want to remain civil but in terms of a romantic relationship, it's definitely over. 'It was difficult at times for them dating even though they lived miles apart from each other but ultimately it just wasn't meant to be.' Ricky said Katie first caught his eye as she appeared on ITV soap Coronation Street, where she portrayed Sinead Tinker between April 2013 and March 2020. Ricky was previously engaged to Geordie Shore's Marnie Simpson, who has since tied the knot with Casey Johnson. Ricky found fame on TOWIE in 2012 and was a cast member on the long running series for three years. He has since shunned the limelight, running his own fishing business, Crowsheath Fishy, with Ricky previously saying his love for the outdoors was one of the ways he connected with Katie. The couple previously explained how their living arrangements meant they could only see each other on the weekends and often their work schedules meant they went weeks without spending quality time together.

Parents killed & 2 kids gravely hurt in horror crash as son they just dropped off at college watched from different car
A SON helplessly watched his family get into a terrifying car crash that killed both of his parents and severely injured his siblings. The family was driving in two cars to get lunch while dropping off the son at college when the parents' car veered off the road, crashed into a wooded area and slammed into a tree. 3 3 Their son, Noah, a 19-year-old sophomore at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, was traveling in a second car when the crash happened. After the accident, Noah pulled over on the side of the road as emergency personnel tried to save his parents and siblings, WOIO said. The family had traveled to his university from Ohio to drop him off for the new semester, according to the outlet. Donald Nunney, 55, and his wife Maria Nunney, 50, died as a result of their injuries from the August 15 accident, according to a GoFundMe for the family. Two other children – aged 9 and 15 – were also greatly injured, the fundraiser said, but did survive. The fatal crash They were near the college on Friday afternoon when their van had veered off the highway and hit multiple small trees, Highway Patrol said. The car then went into an embankment and hit a large tree, WNCN reported. Maria, who sat in the passenger seat, was pronounced dead at the scene. Her husband, Donald, who was driving at the time of the crash, died shortly after he was airlifted to a hospital, according to police. No other cars were involved in the accident. The North Carolina State Highway Patrol told WOIO that the college student was staying at his sibling's bedside as they recover in the hospital. Beloved teachers The couple were both teachers in Cleveland, Ohio, where the family is from. "Maria and Donald were more than amazing and loving parents," their fundraiser said. "They were also a devoted son and daughter, siblings, caring teachers, and friends." Classes at the district they worked at began classes on Monday, just days after the horrific crash. Sandro Galindo, the brother of Maria, told WNCN that they were driving to lunch with their son. "Maria and Donald leave behind a legacy of community, family, and love, all rooted in the devotion they had for their children and their family." "Every contribution, no matter the size, eases some of the weight these children are carrying," the GoFundMe said. The couple had four children in total. It was not immediately clear what caused the crash as the investigation continues, according to WNCN. The first day of school for UNC students was the following Monday, too. North Carolina's State Highway Patrol could not immediately be reached for comment by The U.S. Sun. The fundraiser had raised over $224,000 as of Wednesday morning, with over 2,800 donations. "These four incredible kids are facing an unimaginable loss. As their family, we want to do everything we can to make sure their needs are cared for and their futures protected," the fundraiser description read. "They gave so much of themselves to their students and their community." 3
