The journalism and humanitarian world is weeping for the sudden death of Jacky Sutton, 50 year-old. She was a well respected researcher and journalist. She travelled throughout the world, looking for the truth and trying to help people in need. Nobody who knew her believe she committed suicide and everybody is asking for an international investigation. I wrote about it in the paper edition of Corriere della Sera.

Let’s start with what we really know: Jacky Sutton died at Ataturk airport, in Istanbul, Turkey, on Sunday early morning. She was found with shoe laces around her neck by three Russian tourists in a bathroom. She was passing by the Turkish hub, on her way to Erbil, Iraq, from London. Her plane landed at 10 pm and her connecting flight was at 12 am. For some unclear reasons she lost it.

Conveniently enough the CCTV were not working in the area where she was waiting and around the bathroom where she died. But others filmed her while passing security and with a black bag while walking around the airport. From the footage I have seen, it’s impossible to determine anything about her shoes. Although the footage can say very little, at first she doesn’t seem in distress.
