Can Güder was just 20.  He died under suspicious circumstances in Van F Type Closed Prison.

The prison administration called the prisoner's family on Tuesday morning and reported that their son had passed away. It was recorded that Can Güder, who was taken to the Centenary Forensic Medicine Institute (ATK) without his family and lawyer, died as a result of a "heart attack".

The family, who received the body of Güder after the ATK procedures, took it to Yüksekova district of Hakkari.

According to the information obtained from the family, Can Güder did not have any chronic illness, did not use any medication, and his death was seen as suspicious.
