Overview
- Turkish authorities evacuated and sealed the Fatih hotel where the Hamburg family stayed, removing items for laboratory analysis and taking drinking-water samples.
- Police say a ground‑floor room had recently been treated with chemicals used for pest control, and two of the workers who carried out the procedure were detained.
- Eight suspects have been taken into custody to date, including a hotel official, pest‑control workers, four streetfood sellers and a nearby baker, with no proven link among them so far.
- Two other guests of the hotel — reported as an Italian and a Moroccan — were hospitalized with nausea and vomiting but are not in life‑threatening condition.
- The exact cause remains unconfirmed after an inconclusive initial autopsy; toxicology and environmental tests are pending, while the father remains in intensive care and the victims were buried in Afyonkarahisar.
