Tragic Loss: Dilara, Who Died in the Fire, Watches Over Her Father
The heartbreaking story of Dilara Ermanoğlu, who tragically lost her life in the Kartalkaya hotel fire, has brought sorrow to the entire nation. Her father, Hasan Ermanoğlu, revealed the heart-wrenching reason behind her decision to be at the hotel that fateful day.
Hasan Ermanoğlu, who suffers from a heart disease, shared, “She came there for me. I did not want her to come. She said, ‘I will come to keep an eye on you.'” This revelation sheds light on the selfless and caring nature of Dilara, who worked as a nurse in the hotel’s infirmary.
Dilara was one of the 79 individuals who tragically lost their lives in the devastating fire that engulfed the Grand Kartal hotel in Bolu Kartalkaya. Her father, overwhelmed with grief upon hearing the news of her passing, had a heart attack while waiting for her autopsy results. Thankfully, he received prompt medical attention and was taken into treatment.
Following the autopsy, Dilara’s body was brought to her hometown in Mardin for a touching funeral ceremony. Deputy Minister of Justice Mehmet Yılmaz, Governor Tuncay Akkoyun, and other officials, along with family members and citizens, paid their respects to the young nurse.
Father Hasan Ermanoğlu, who attended the funeral prayer after his treatment, reminisced about the last conversation he had with his daughter. He recounted, “She came to me the day before the incident, asking to go on a picnic in March. That’s right, there was a conversation between us.” Hasan also revealed that Dilara had been working at the hotel for a little over a month and had been assigned to the attic, presumably to be closer to her father.
Despite Hasan’s initial reluctance for his daughter to be at the hotel, Dilara’s determination to watch over him touched the hearts of many. The poignant story of a daughter’s selfless act of love and care for her father has left a lasting impact on all who have heard it. May Dilara Ermanoğlu rest in peace, knowing that her sacrifice and dedication will always be remembered.
