Turkish content creator Ayşegül Eraslan was being blackmailed over sexually explicit photos and was being threatened before she was found dead in her home … at least according to her family.

Eraslan’s family attorney, Hasan Yilmaz, claims the fam has evidence backing their blackmail allegations, which he says he’s turned over to authorities … local outlet Sözcü reports.

The fashion influencer was found dead inside her home in Turkey back in March … a couple days after getting back from a trip to Egypt.

Police said actor Sunay Kurtuluș went to her home an hour before her death … entering and exiting in a manner of minutes. His legal team says he was questioned by cops and was “not at the scene of the incident at the time it occurred.”
