Russian passengers were reported to have discovered a body inside a public restroom at the international transit terminal of Istanbul's Ataturk International Airport yesterday.
The woman was identified as Jacqueline Anne Sutton, a former BBC journalist currently working for the London-based Institute of War and Peace Reporting (IWPR). Turkish authorities claimed that the 50-year-old had taken her own life. She was alleged to have used her shoe laces to hang herself.

Sutton had missed a connecting flight in Istanbul to Irbil, Iraq. Turkey's state-run Anadolu news agency reported that she became upset because she allegedly didn't have money to buy a new ticket. Anadolu did not cite a source for the report nor did it specify which airlines were part of her itinerary. The British Consulate in Istanbul and the Foreign Office confirmed the death of a British national in Istanbul.

"Knowing Jackie, the story doesnt stick. She wasn't going through a depression. She wasn't broke. She has dealt with missed flights before. I strongly doubt that this narrative was what really took place. You can't strangle yourself with shoelaces," she told Deutsche Welle.
