So, here’s the wild part: a guy from Milton Keynes, Martyn Latchman, just 38, went over to Turkey for a hair transplant and didn’t make it out alive. No kidding.
He got sick right at the start, like, during the prep at this Dr. Cinik clinic, and that was it. The clinic even confirmed it to PEOPLE, so it’s not just some rumor floating around. Just… yikes.
So, right before they even got started with the hair transplant, literally during the prep, the guy suddenly got sick. Nobody knows why; it just happened out of nowhere.
They jumped on it quickly and rushed him off to a university hospital, all set up for emergencies. He was in intensive care all day, but… yeah, he didn’t make it. Passed away that night. Pretty rough.
Yeah, so apparently Latchman already got a hair transplant at their clinic worked out pretty well for him, I guess, ’cause he came back for round two. That’s straight from Dr. Cinik’s people. Guess he liked the first one enough to double down.
So, before the second surgery, yeah, they ran all the usual tests, blood work, chest X-ray, ECG, the whole shebang. Same as last time. Nothing got skipped, no shortcuts. The anesthesiologist was on top of it, watching over everything, and in the end, the patient got the green light for surgery.
Turkish Hospital
Latchman’s body’s already been shipped back to the UK. Turkish news site OdaTV says health officials are poking around, trying to figure out what happened, and yeah, there’s gonna be an autopsy, at least that’s what The Independent is saying.
Yeah, so the clinic said, “Look, we’ve handed over all the medical paperwork about what happened to the right folks, and now the courts are digging into it.”
They added something like, “Since it’s all tied up in legal stuff and, honestly, out of respect for the family, we’re not spilling any more info right now.” That’s it, tight-lipped for now.
Man, the folks at Dr. Cinik sounded genuinely heartbroken about Latchman’s passing away, like you could just feel the heaviness in their words.
The Guardian:
Meanwhile, someone over at the Foreign Office gave one of those classic statements to The Independent and The Guardian: “We’re supporting the family of this British guy who died in Turkey, and yeah, we’re talking with the local authorities.” You know, the usual official routine.
So, Latchman spent, what, over 16 years teaching in Bedford before deciding to jump ship and get into defense contracting just last year? Wild career pivot, honestly. That’s straight from The Guardian, by the way.
People close to Latchman aren’t exactly staying quiet about what happened. Scrolling through Facebook on July 29, you’d spot Yashley Latchman dropping a “Rest in peace, my brother” under a gym selfie of the two of them. Just raw, you know? No fancy words just grief, straight up.
“You’ll always be the one who fires me up, honestly,” he said. “Seriously, thanks for it all. Gonna miss you like crazy.”
Dr. Cinik, yeah, the hair wizard over in Istanbul’s Besiktas district has had a pretty wild roster of famous clients. We’re talking Rio Ferdinand from Man United, Ivan Rakitić (yep, Croatian World Cup runner-up), and even Rivaldo, the legendary Brazilian who’s got more trophies than shelf space.
So, get this: the place brags on its website about pulling off over 50,000 transplants. That’s a lot of organs, honestly. And if you trust the Turkish Healthcare Travel Council (which, why not?), About a million folks fly over to Turkey every single year for medical stuff. Wild, right?
