Famous TC gyros man dies in accident!

Unfortunately, I just saw on the late news that the famous TC "fatman's gyros" in Rigenis street died after inhaling too much smoke from his badly aerated barbecue setup along with his two canaries! :(

He was touted to make the best gyro in town but I never got the chance to try it and would always postpone going there... :(

I faintly recall a thread about him, I think by Halil when he first opened up... and I remember me and DT (?) walking around the wrong neighborhood trying to find him because someone had said he opened up in the green line which didn't sound right... :?

Şişko’nun Döneri’ Elayar'ı kaybettik
09/01/2009 - rum basını

‘Şişko’nun Döneri’ Elayar yaşamını yitirdi



Şişko’nun Döneri restoranıyla bilinen, 42 yaşındaki Kıbrıslı Türk Mustafa Erkan Elayar bu sabah Lefkoşa’nın güneyindeki restoranında ölü bulundu.



Rum radyosu, restoranda, Elayar'ın bir çalışanının da bulunduğunu ve baygın olarak hastaneye kaldırıldığını bildirdi.



Radyo “ilk tespitlere” dayanarak restorandaki jeneratörün çalışır durumda olduğunu ve Mustafa Erkan Elayar’ın ölümünün ortamdaki karbonmonoksit gazının fazlalığından ileri geldiğinin sanıldığını belirtti.

Actually, for your information, I started that thread:

http://www.cyprus-forum.com/viewtopic.p ... sc&start=0

The article that I translated from erroneously gave the location of this restaurant as Ermou Street, when it is actually in Regina Street.

Not important. I managed to dine at this restaurant only once. A young south Asian woman was serving in the dining area and I remember as I was eating a party of Greek Cypriot youths sat down. It appeared that this woman was only able to deal with customers in English, and these three young men insisted on being served in Greek, so the proprietor (shown in the picture below) was summoned from the cooking section. I can vouch for the accuracy of his nickname "fatty"! I can also vouch for his extreme fluency in Cypriot Greek.

This event is a tragedy for Mustafa's own family and, in a wider sense, for the reunification process, because his own success in setting up and growing a business in the unoccupied part of the island may well over time have served as a role model for others.

May he rest in peace.

According to the news,it is suspected he died from carbon monoxide poisoning from generator fumes..
Apparently his electricity was cut of due to an outstanding £3600 bill and he was using a generator.

According to his family saying:

When the man came to cut off his electricity . He tried to pay them 1600 Euro at that time .he was going to pay rest of it in few days ...... for 2000 EURO he died !!!!!!!

I wonder how many businesses in south owes that much money to GC's Electricity authorise.
