Teen Brothers Found Dead in Hotel
Hotel staff entered the room after the family failed to check out and found the brothers dead. Their father was rushed to the hospital in critical condition due to shock, but has since stabilized, according to reports.

Focus on Restaurants Near Taksim Square
The father told investigators that his sons had eaten and drunk at two different restaurants near Istanbul’s busy Taksim Square before falling ill.
