As various media publications report, Aykut's “farewell letter” read: “I dropped out of my own free will. Because I don't want to live anymore. Take good care of Fistik. I was good to everyone in my life, but I couldn't be good to myself. “Fistik” should be their pet.”

The farewell letter continued: “Living as a good person has brought me nothing. Be selfish in this life. This way you will be happy. I fought for days but no one noticed. I'm leaving because I love myself and want to think about myself for once. I'm sorry, Kubra Aykut.
