Turkish paramilitary troops found the body of one man in a car that was carried away by flood waters on a stretch of road from the main city of the province bearing the same name to the town of Manavgat towards the east.

Alerted by locals, the coast guard found the body of the second victim, a 49-year-old man, at the mouth of a river next to the town of Demre, Anatolia reported.

The man was apparently swept away by the water as he was collecting wood from the river.
