Ece Irtem dies at 35 after heart attack at home

ece irtem died at 35 after suffering a heart attack at her home in the morning. She was known to viewers for playing Işıl in Kızılcık Şerbeti, and her death lands hard for a series that had only recently added her to the cast.

She joined Kızılcık Şerbeti on 17 Ocak 2025, a late addition that had already fed new developments around the character Işıl. The role tied her to one of television’s more closely watched current series, so the loss reaches both the production and the audience following that storyline.

Kızılcık Şerbeti and Işıl

Her work on the Show TV series, produced by Gold Film and produced by Faruk Turgut, gave her a visible place in the cast after 17 January 2025. For a daily series, that kind of addition is rarely just a credit change; it becomes part of the current narrative engine, which is why her absence will be felt on screen as well as off it.

The sequence is hard to miss. She celebrated her birthday and shared photos on social media the night before her death, then died in the morning at home after the heart attack. That gap between a personal milestone and a fatal event gives the news its sting, and it leaves the cast and viewers dealing with the abrupt end of a very recent run on the show.

Selçuk Kılıç’s farewell

Selçuk Kılıç, a friend from the acting circle, wrote: “Çok üzüldüm çok, mekanın cennet olsun arkadaşım.” It is the sort of plain farewell that usually says more than a long statement does, especially when there is no room for polish and no time for a public script.

Birsen Altuntaş reported the death, but the facts themselves are already enough: a 35-year-old actor, a morning death at home, a heart attack, and a role that was still fresh in a popular series. For viewers of Kızılcık Şerbeti, the practical aftermath is simple — the Işıl storyline now has to move forward without the actor who played it.
