A drunken Turkish man reportedly found himself in the woods after assisting in an hours-long search party for ... himself. What are the details?
According to a Wednesday report from the Daily Mail, 50-year-old Beyhan Mutlu, a Turkey resident living in the northwestern Bursa province's Inegöl district, was reportedly drinking with a group of friends earlier this month when he wandered off alone into the forests of Cayyaka.
His friends, according to the outlet, became concerned when they couldn't locate him after several hours and, along with Mutlu's wife, reported their loved one missing.
A search party was almost immediately formed, and the group began scouring the area for the missing man.
Meanwhile, during his wanderings, Mutlu was said to have eventually stumbled upon a search party that was combing through the trees for a missing person. Local reports noted that Mutlu was inspired to join the search party and began taking on the valiant effort to track down the missing person despite his reported intoxication.
Mutlu likely looked high and low during the search, but it was only when one of the rescuers began shouting his name that he realized his error and reportedly responded, "Who are we looking for? I am here."
The outlet reported that law enforcement officials then took him aside to confirm his identity and question what happened over the previous hours. During questioning, Mutlu reportedly expressed concerns that he was going to get into trouble with his family.
"Don't punish me too harshly, officer," he reportedly said and noted that he was particularly concerned over what his father's reaction might be.
He purportedly added, "My father will kill me."
Rescue workers transported Mutlu home following the incident.
He was unhurt according to local reports. It is unknown at the time of this reporting whether Mutlu faces any charges in connection with the bizarre happening. Not the first time
The Sun reported that a similar incident occurred in 2012 after a woman who was reported missing in Iceland also found herself.
"The mix-up occurred when the woman left the tourist group and changed clothes," the outlet reported. "When she returned to the group in a different outfit, the rest of the group did not recognize her and she was reported missing. The tourist participated in the intense police search over the course of a weekend after not noticing the missing person description was indeed her."
Hours later, the search party was called off when the group realized that the woman for whom they'd been searching was in their party all along.
I hope this doesn’t happen with our favorite Joe, the Secret Service might get mad at him
That man should retire in Florida.
Maybe he was having an extensional crisis. Reminds me of Jackie Mason’s old routine about finding himself.

very funny
Sounds like my ex-wife found herself a new husband. Heaven knows how many times I went to my local Legion post after a shift at the Pentagon to ‘fortify’ myself before going home to her. LOL
I think that was a Charlie Chaplin movie.
Wow, just when you think transcendentalism doesn’t exist anymore

It was one of the times we were just running call to call. We get dispatched to a guy that got sucked under a flooded bridge and washed downstream. We show up and start scrambling to get people at various points to try to intercept him and a random guy keeps saying I need some treatment for all of these cuts and abrasions. I finally barked at him and gave a short explanation of what we had going,to which he replied “that was me!”
IMPOSSIBLE!
Turkey is 99.9% Sunni and they would never drink, ever!
No matter where you go. Every where you turn. There you are. Right there beside yourself. Damnnn!, am I glad to be back.
If talk shows still exist give this guy a plane ticket and you have a guaranteed segment
a whole story and not one word about what he was hopped up on that he didn’t realize people were calling his name?
Turkey - ouzu? raki? enquiring minds want to know, what never to drink!
“Turkish, drunk and lost in the woods is no way to go through life, Son!” ~ Dean Wormer
That is why the son said his dad would kill him!
Personal history:
My Great-Grand-father was a Methodist circuit rider with 7 pulpits in Michigan U.P. Of course, he didn’t make it to each church each Sunday especially during brutal winters. Also, he worked long days during the week as a miner iron copper.
His sons also became miners. Methodists didn’t drink.
One night his one son came home drunk. It is told that he dragged this son over to Lake Superior and kept Baptizing him until the son repented. And, Methodist do NOT believe in re-Baptism either!
Where’s it gonna get ya in the end?
Florida man goes international.
A 50 year old man says “My father will kill me!”
At least it’s a happy ending.
“At least it’s a happy ending.”
Yeah, I’m thinking: Wait, they searched, they found the guy, he’s OK. What’s the problem?
