Photo of British woman ‘found hanged in toilet at Airport’ after missing connecting flight

This is the first picture of a British woman found dead in a toilet at Istanbul Airport after missing a connecting flight.

Jacky Sutton, 50, was found hanged at Istanbul Atatürk Airport in the early hours of yesterday’s morning.

She is understood to have flown to Istanbul from London but missed a connecting flight to Erbil in Iraqi Kurdistan.

Local media reports state she told airport staff she did not have enough money to buy a new ticket. Her body was found a short time later.

The Foreign Office confirmed it is providing consular assistance to her family.

Ms Sutton, a former BBC journalist, had worked in Iraq for several years and was the acting Iraq director for the Institute for War and Peace Reporting (IWPR).

She was also studying for a PhD at the The Australian National University in Canberra.
