Sinn Féin MP John Finucane said one of the three men from Belfast has died, while two others are being treated in hospital.

He said last night: “This evening the community of North Belfast were devastated to learn of a tragic incident involving three North Belfast men in Turkey.

“One of the men has unfortunately passed away, while the other two are currently receiving treatment in hospital.

“The community of North Belfast will rally around the families of those affected and do all that we can to provide support to them at this time of great difficulty.

“I will be making immediate contact with the Department of Foreign Affairs to request all the necessary support be urgently put in place to assist the families.”

SDLP Cllr Paul McCusker said the three men were from north Belfast.

Two of the men were in a critical condition in hospital, he said on Twitter.
