Julia Ituma, an 18-year-old Italian volleyball player of Nigerian descent has sadly passed away.
She died after falling from a hotel window just hours after her team was eliminated from the Champions League semi-finals.
Julia Ituma was discovered dead at her hotel in Istanbul, Turkey, on Thursday morning, April 13, following her team’s loss.
The rising volleyball star and “next big thing” had been representing her team Igor Gorgonzola Novara in their second-leg knockout match against Turkish side Eczacibasi Dynavit Istanbul, where she had scored two points despite their defeat.
The Italian consulate in Turkey stated that they were working closely with Turkish officials and were assisting Ituma’s family.
According to CNN, Ituma was discovered motionless on the ground outside the Valley Hotel at around 5.30am on Thursday.
She was pronounced dead shortly after paramedics and emergency responders arrived at the scene.

This is really breaking my heart. May God have mercy for this soul!!!
Poor journalism. Your topic stated ‘Jump’ in the writeup you stated ‘fell’ which one do we believe as there is different between the two.
Police need to carry out the investigation very well.
This beautiful promising Nigeria girl can’t just died like that.
Accident, suicide, or murder?
Hopefully, the police will get to the bottom of this.
