Found his father in the garbage house

Four years ago, photographer Mehmet Kapılı, living in Belediye Evleri Mahallesi in Çukurova district, was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. His son Özgür Kapılı, a father of four, went to work as a seasonal laborer in Bodrum, Muğla, six months ago. Allegedly, S.K., Mehmet Kapılı's spouse, showed no interest in taking care of him. Due to his busy work schedule, Özgür Kapılı couldn't come to Adana, but he regularly communicated with his mother and received positive updates about his father's health.

Özgür Kapılı expressed his disappointment and frustration with his mother, stating, "I had heard rumors that my mother wasn't taking care of my father while I was away for work. When I came home to see my father's condition with my own eyes, the door was locked. I broke in and found my father lying in bed in that state. It's a disgrace. A person cannot leave their spouse in such a condition. When I gave my father fruit juice, I can't even describe how he struggled to drink it. We can't reach my mother."
