Body of Saudi boy who fell into river in Turkiye recovered
The Saudi Embassy in Turkiye confirmed in a statement on X that the body of the boy was recovered following extensive searches by Turkish rescue teams over the past few days, and that the required procedures are underway in coordination with the family and the pertinent authorities.
The boy, who media reports have identified as Faysal Ramzi Al-Sheikh, is believed to have been spending a holiday with his family in Trabzon province when he went missing.
It was reported that he was beside one of the steep banks of the creek when he slipped into the river due to heavy rainfalls which had upped the level of the river water.
In its statement on X, the Saudi Embassy said: 'May God have mercy on him … the embassy, in coordination with his family and the competent Turkish authorities, will complete the required procedures.'
It expressed its deep condolences to the family, adding it 'sincerely thanks the Turkish authorities for their great efforts in searching for the deceased … and recovering his body.'
