This is the last photograph of a teenage girl who died after choking on her own vomit on an amusement park ride called the “Kamikaze” and her family claim they begged the operator to stop it – but were ignored.

The incident took place in the Avcilar district of Turkey’s largest city Istanbul when Zeynep Gunay, 19, went on one of the rides but fell unconscious and was declared dead after being taken to hospital.

It has been claimed that the teenager threw up while she was on the Kamikaze ride and died because vomit blocked her respiratory tract.

Her family say that they could see that she was in distress and repeatedly asked the ride operator to stop it, but they claim they were ignored.

The teenage girl, who wanted to become a psychologist, was taken to hospital in an ambulance that her own family has to call themselves because the amusement park officials did not take the situation seriously, her uncle Fatih Gunay has claimed.

When the girl was removed unresponsive from the ride, her uncle says that they were told to “slap her two or three times” and that she would wake up.

The uncle added that his niece had died as a result of negligence and that they would do “whatever it takes” to get justice.

It is currently unclear if the family have filed a formal complaint with the authorities yet, and whether or not their claims are being investigated by the police.
