It was revealed that Gültekin was in the process of divorcing news anchor Erhan Çelik, and had filed a complaint with the prosecutor's office in December 2025, alleging domestic violence. While Çelik has denied these allegations, it has been learned that he is facing potential imprisonment. However, the exact cause of Gültekin's death remains unknown.
In Izmir, Obstetrics and Gynecology Specialist Op. Dr. Özlem Gültekin, who was practicing her profession in her own clinic, passed away at the age of 48.
The death of Gültekin, a mother of one, in her clinic was reported to the judicial authorities. Following her unexpected and premature death, Gültekin's body was taken to the Izmir Forensic Medicine Institute to determine the exact cause of death.
After the autopsy was conducted, Özlem Gültekin's body was handed over to her family and was laid to rest in the Örnekköy Cemetery following the afternoon prayer.
However, Gültekin's precise cause of death has not yet been disclosed. A judicial investigation has been initiated due to the suspicious nature of her death.
As part of the investigation, it was stated that all the details of the incident and the events leading up to Gültekin's death are being examined, and the exact cause of death is expected to be revealed after the completion of the autopsy and other forensic examinations.
Another issue that has drawn attention following Gültekin's death is the ongoing divorce and legal process with news anchor Erhan Çelik.
Özlem Gültekin and news anchor Erhan Çelik were married in Izmir in 2019. The couple welcomed their son, whom they named Ali Boran, in 2020.
However, the couple's marriage was later carried into a legal process involving serious allegations.
In December 2025, Gültekin filed a complaint against her husband Erhan Çelik, claiming that she was subjected to physical and psychological violence, and initiated a divorce case.
The allegations in Gültekin's application were quite severe. Özlem Gültekin claimed that Erhan Çelik pulled her hair, banged her head against the car window, and threatened her.
Following Gültekin's complaint, the prosecution demanded a prison sentence ranging from 2 years and 3 months to 5 years and 3 months for Erhan Çelik on charges of 'threatening a woman' and 'simple assault on a woman' as a result of the investigation conducted.
Erhan Çelik, on the other hand, denied the allegations of violence against him.
It was noted that the divorce process between the couple was ongoing when Özlem Gültekin lost her life, and this past criminal complaint and the legal process between the parties came back into focus after the news of her death.
Following the unexpected death of Özlem Gültekin at her clinic, the prosecutor's office initiated an investigation into the incident.
An autopsy was conducted to determine the exact cause of death for 48-year-old Gültekin, as her demise was deemed suspicious. It was noted that all aspects of the incident are being thoroughly investigated as part of the inquiry.
The most definitive answer regarding Gültekin's cause of death will be provided by the final autopsy report, which is to be prepared by the Forensic Medicine Institute.
The prosecution's investigation is also expected to take shape based on the findings of the autopsy and other forensic examinations.
