Prominent Coca-Cola Türkiye executive Cetin Ozatac died on Friday while swimming in Bodrum, Mugla. Ozatac, 64, had travelled from Ankara with his family to Bodrum’s Akyarlar area, where they were spending their vacation.

Ozatac reportedly went into the water to swim and was about fifty meters off the coast when he abruptly stopped moving. Testimony indicated that his relatives and fellow beachgoers helped to bring him ashore.

Ozatac did not recover despite the medical staff’ quick intervention and further efforts at Bodrum Acibadem Hospital. His spouse and two kids survive him.

Since 2010, Ozatac has been the Coca-Cola Icecek’s Director of Research & Development Systems Development. The business community has been greatly impacted by his passing.

His remains are reportedly going to be transferred to Ankara for burial after being taken to the Mugla Forensic Medicine Institute.

The loss of Cetin Ozatac, a well-respected member of the business, has shocked Coca-Cola Türkiye deeply. Ozatac was a respected figure in the business sector.
