Suspitsina reportedly climbed over a safety fence in the park. From there, she decided to snap a pic off the edge of a cliff in front of its waterfalls, before slipping and plummeting roughly 115 feet, the news site notes citing Sputnik Turkey.

Suspitaina’s friend who happened to be with her called emergency services, who pulled Suspitsina’s lifeless body out of the water and took it to the morgue of Antalya Forensic Medicine Institue for an autopsy. Authorities later determined her death was an accident, according to her relatives. One of her family members told the Daily Mail:

“Olesya was a smart and cheerful person. She set goals and made them happen.” As Fox News notes, Suspitsina reportedly worked as a tour guide in the city for the last five years. The young woman’s body is set to be transported from Turkey to Kazakhstan on Saturday.

Florida Governor FINALLY Issues Statewide Lockdown After Revealing Coronavirus Started Circulating During Super Bowl

Florida Governor FINALLY Issues Statewide Lockdown After Revealing Coronavirus Started Circulating During Super Bowl

This Wednesday, Florida governor Ron DeSantis issued a statewide lockdown just a day after revealing the coronavirus started circulating in Miami during the Super Bowl in early February!

Initially, the Republican had refused to lockdown the wild state even despite cases of coronavirus spiking to nearly 7,000, with 857 people hospitalized and 87 dead, the Daily Mail reports. However, following major pressure from people in and out of the state, DeSantis finally decided to do what’s right.

He explained Wednesday, “I’m going to be doing an executive order today directing all Floridians to limit movements and personal interactions outside the home to only those necessary to obtain or provide essential services or conduct essential activities.” Ron DeSantis said the order will go into effect Thursday at midnight and will last 30 days.

“At this point, even though there’s a lot of places in Florida that have very low infection rates, it makes sense to make this move now.”

As we previously reported, more than 30 others states had already issued such orders a week or more ago. Meanwhile, Florida is now on track to become the next coronavirus epicenter in the US as the number of cases continue to spike, the Daily Mail reports.

Before this move, DeSantis shared that testing in the state started around the same time as the big Super Bowl. But, it was only for those who had been to certain parts of China. The first confirmed case was confirmed a month later on March 1.

“The numbers are pretty stark. I think this thing was circulating during the Super Bowl. Now, Miami’s rate of cases is a lot higher than statewide,” he said Tuesday.

As the news site notes, there are now more than 200,000 confirmed coronavirus cases across the nation; the death toll stands at 4,391.

As we previously, Drita and her husband Lee D’Avanzo were arrested during a raid at her Staten Island home last year. They were taken in on a slew of charges including criminal possession of a controlled substance, criminal possession of a weapon and acting in a manner injurious to a child under 17, cops said. Authorities found two loaded firearms – a 9mm and a .38 caliber gun in the bedroom and kitchen — an assortment of pills, including painkillers, a large quantity of marijuana along with two scales with residue, police said.

While Drita doesn’t really have to worry about the slammer, her husband is still in hot waters. Apparently, the DA now says Drita was NOT the target of the search warrant. However, Lee, on the other hand, has been indicted for possession of firearms and weed by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York. While speaking to reporters outside of court, Drita said,

“I have no time to celebrate because my husband is not home, but I am very happy with the outcome. All I’m focusing on right now is the fact that this turned out good.”
