Alexander Zhuchkov died at Pamukkale University clinic. He became the fourth victim of unfortunate night yachting excursion near Bodrum. He was 28 years old from the town of Novomoskovsk in Tula Region. Final diagnosis given at the clinic is severe alcoholic intoxication that caused heart failure. Even though Turkish physicians did all they could to save Alexander’s live, they failed to restart his weary heart.
At the Antalya Akdeniz University Clinic’s Resuscitation Department still stays Victoria Nikolaeva who is suffering from bad alcohol intoxication on. She is still in deepest coma, her condition remains the same and brain function is not repairing. Because of such a grave condition of Victoria the medics fear to make any forecasts.

There were about a hundred persons on the yacht, 21 of them sought medical attention. The first one to pass away was Maria Shalyapina of 27 years old; her 3-years old daughter was left with no mother. Next day brought more bad news.
