A 20-year-old British tourist found dead in a lift shaft in Turkey was murdered, his brother has claimed.
Tyler Kerry, from Basildon, Essex, was discovered on Friday morning at the Trendy Lara Hotel in Antalya.
Turkish police said according to statements Mr Kerry had been in drinking in a nightclub before he fell from height and there was no evidence of “intervention” on his body. His grandmother said she was “disgusted” by their response.
Younger sibling Mason Read, who was one of the people who found him unresponsive, said he was “100%” convinced Mr Kerry was killed by someone.
Mr Kerry and his family are constituents of James McMurdock MP for South Basildon and East Thurrock.
James McMurdock MP said
“I was deeply saddened to learn of the tragic passing of Tyler Kerry in Turkey. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family, friends, and all who knew and loved him during this incredibly painful time.
“My team and I have been in contact with Tyler’s family, and we are here to offer our full support as they face this unimaginable loss. We will continue to liaise with the relevant authorities in both the UK and Turkey to help provide the answers and assistance the family needs.
“This is a profoundly difficult time for everyone affected by Tyler’s passing, and I remain committed to ensuring the family’s concerns are heard and addressed with the utmost care and urgency.”
