She killed herself by throwing herself out of the window of her house on the fifth floor, Ece Ayhan said. Zelda was a pretty different person. She seemed to me to change personality, even body, after a certain time in the evening. Her face was darkened, adding a beautiful but frightening glow to her eyes. She was also very young. I don't think she was thirty yet. This world was another life's waiting room or hangout. When I look back, I also find a pain on Nilgün's face.It's emerging today." Cezmi Ersöz, on the other hand, wrote and dedicated the book *led Forty Years, You Are Like One After His death. Also, Seyhan Erözçelik wrote the poem *led Nilgün's Göztaşı after Nilgün Marmara's suicide.

Discussions After Her Death

It was claimed that Nilgün Marmara did not commit suicide but was killed and that her husband, Kağan Önal, was negligent in the death of Nilgün Marmara.

Regarding the accusations brought against him, Kağan Önal said, "However, Nilgün was supposed to be treated, but she was running away from the doctor. The doctor was not at home when she should have been at home. The doctor had waited. When she came, they talked to me... The doctor said to me, 'Your job is very difficult! He was intelligent and cultured. That is, one of the most difficult cases...' Because he had to not engage in intellectual activities for his recovery. They would use the medicine and he would numb. In moderately cultured and intelligent cases, this disease usually appeared in the 20s, and it was successful with lithium treatment. However, Nilgün He was not of this type. Being treated, being convinced of this, being satisfied with the treatment were all separate problems. Therefore, she did not receive treatment. She promised me that he would start the treatment again the day he died." The book *led Red Brown Notebook, published after Nilgün Marmara's death, created a great controversy. Although the book says that Nilgün Marmara published her diaries, the only quote about her time in Libya was "Kağan is a dirty piece of * in his skirt, he rubs himself in bars every day." and the book's biggest problem is "due to the way the pressure was cut off." , Nilgün Marmara is a sullen, cynical person who only thinks about death and poetry in the meantime, in anguish, and as a result of her suicide, as if she did not live, that is, as a person who did not exist until her suicide". It was published by Everest Publishing in 2016 with the following back cover letter, including the facsimile of the diary:

"The Notebooks, which have been published in full with the aim of putting an end to the series of misunderstandings, groundless suspicions, injustices and extreme comments that started since the diaries that Nilgün Marmara left behind were published without permission under the *le Red Brown Notebook, removes the question marks about Nilgün Marmara. With Notebooks, Nilgün "The speculations, fake news and false slanders revolving around the name Marmara are coming to an end. The notebooks also reveal a different portrait of Nilgün Marmara from the one known and *umed, by reflecting her view of daily life, her surroundings and relationships."

In addition to the two notebooks he kept diaries in 2017, his notes were also published by Everest Publications under the *le Papers.
