The autopsy procedures for Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, a Turkish-American activist killed by Israeli soldiers last Friday, were completed in Izmir, Turkiye’s western province, Anadolu Agency reports.
Eygi’s uncle and cousin waited in the institution for the approximately four-hour autopsy procedures.
After the autopsy, Eygi’s body was placed in a funeral vehicle and driven to Didim district of Aydin Province, south-western Turkiye.
Forensic expert, Emre Ozdemir told Anadolu that the likelihood of a bullet ricocheting on Eygi is low.
Ozdemir believes she was directly targeted.
Eygi, 26, was killed on 6 September during a peaceful protest against illegal Israeli settlements near Nablus.
Turkish diplomatic missions in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem coordinated the transfer of Eygi’s body from Tel Aviv to Baku before the final journey to Turkiye.
Turkiye also launched an investigation into the killing under domestic law on Thursday.
