Missing ex-banker, 83, is confirmed dead by Turkish cops days after human remains found – as family his are left furious
A MISSING ex-banker has been confirmed dead just days after human remains were found in Turkey.
Economics guru Korhan Berzeg, 83, had been missing since vanishing on a walk with his dog ten months ago before bones and his wallet were discovered earlier this week.
Mr Berzeg had failed to return to his holiday home in Buyukada, near Istanbul, and his Brit family have been braced for the tragic news of his confirmed death ever since.
After the human remains were found by a Turkish local in Balikesir Gonen, around three miles from where Mr Berzeg started his walk, DNA tests have now confirmed them to be his.
Mr Berzeg's distraught British daughter, Nisa, revealed how the family have been left furious after only finding out the news through local media.
Nisa, who has flown from London to be with her mum in Turkey, told The Sun on Sunday: “We are extremely upset about the fact that we heard only through the Turkish press.
“They called us before the police. We were already distraught but this is outrageous."
The Turkish grandad had set off on his morning walk with his dog in June last year.
While the dog was found alive there was no trace of the ex-banker.
Hundreds of Turkish police have spent the past ten months combing hundreds of square miles - but missed the body found on a river bed just two miles from where the Turkish grandad set off on his morning walk.
