Young British tourist's mysterious hotel incident leaves family searching for answers
A twenty-year-old from Essex lost his life in an unexpected lift-shaft incident at a Turkish resort. Family members found him early morning after he didnt return from watching a late-night football match
Tyler Kerry from Basildon spent his last evening watching football with relatives at a sports-bar in Antalya Turkey. The twenty-year old arrived at Trendy Lara hotel just few days ago with his family members and girlfriend for what shouldʼve been a nice pre-christmas break
His great-uncle Alex Price shared that Tyler was messaging about Man Utdʼs win (they beat their opponents 3-2) and left the venue round 1am. His eighteen-year old brother Mason and cousin Nathan started looking for him when he didnt come back to his room; they discovered him at 7am in a shocking place - the buildings lift shaft
The circumstances are quite unclear: Tyler was found wearing just underwear and socks (which is really strange) while his clothes were laying on the first floor where his room was located. “There are more questions than answers“ Price noted about this odd situation
We think he mustʼve woken up early and gone for a walk or to get some food. The most likely explanation is that he pressed the button for the lift and walked in without it being there
A fund-raising page has collected almost 5000 pounds to help with funeral costs‚ and Turkish authorities have finished their post-mortem exam. The UK government is now helping to bring Tyler home (expected by 12/3/24). Price described his nephew as “full of personality with his whole life ahead of him - completely devoted to his family and girlfriend Molly“
