Model Sofia Olifrenko plunged 60ft from her hotel balcony in Istanbul, Turkey

The death of a Model Sofia Olifrenko who fell 60 feet from her hotel balcony is a mystery as police look into whether she leapt or was pushed.

Sofia Olifrenko, 24, died right away on July 18 when she fell from her room on the fifth floor in Istanbul, Turkey.

CCTV footage from earlier in the day shows that the young model had trouble walking down a path and needed to hold onto a wall.

“I don’t know the woman’s name, we met on the street,” the Turkish guy, who was only identified by the initials “F. K.” in the local media, stated in his statement to the police. She was shedding tears.

“I escorted her to her room at the hotel.”

He stated that she appeared to be quite drunken and was unable to walk properly.

According to reports in the regional media, Sofia had checked into the hotel using a fictitious name, Alexandra V.

In February, she wed Romanian male model Istvan Sarkozy.

Istvan claimed that although his wife had traveled to Istanbul on May 9 to work as a model, he had lost touch with her three days prior to her passing.

In a statement that was acquired by Newsflash, he was quoted as saying, “We lived in peace and quiet.”

According to Istvan, she did not use any illegal substances or consume any alcoholic beverages while they were together.

He left Oradea, Romania for Istanbul to identify Sofia’s body at the morgue, and he returned “with a big anguish” in his heart.

At the time that the news was being reported, the body of Sofia was scheduled to be taken back to Russia at the request of her relatives.

At the time that the news was broken, it was unknown if Sofia had taken her own life or if she had been murdered.

Istvan described her as a great lady, saying that she was constantly smiling and full of life.
