Turkish Tiffany’s tycoon dies after mysterious fall from cruise ship

Dilek Ertek, 71, fell to her death from the deck 11 of the Norwegian Spirit into the South Pacific Ocean Oct. 25

Newsroom November 14 10:15

A wealthy owner of Tiffany’s jewelry empire in Turkey mysteriously plunged to her death from a cruise ship cabin last month while on a birthday vacation with her Swiss lover – and her family suspects foul play, according to local reports.

Dilek Ertek, 71, fell to her death from the deck 11 of the Norwegian Spirit into the South Pacific Ocean Oct. 25 after departing from Papeete in Tahiti, the Daily Sabah reported.

Surveillance footage shows that she went overboard at about 3 a.m., and her body still hasn’t been recovered. Her unnamed 74-year-old lover didn’t report her missing for 20 hours.
