Mehmet Özyürek Children: Did Mehmet Özyürek have any children?

Mehmet Özyürek reportedly had children but their identities are not known yet. He was married to Müşerref Özyürek.

He died from a heart attack on May 18, 2023. He was 73 years old. Özyürek held the record for having the world’s longest nose. His nose measured 8.8 centimeters (3.5 inches) when it was measured on March 18, 2010. It was measured again in 2020 and 2021, where a change was undetected, disproving the myth that a person’s nose and ears continue to grow with age.

“I love my nose of course… I have been blessed. I am extremely pleased to represent Turkey, the Black Sea, or Artvin on an international scale. Some become martyrs, some become Prime Ministers and some become record holders,” he once shared during an interview.

Özyürek also said that it was a condition that ran through his family before him.

“I have such a special feature. It’s a genetic condition as far as I understand. There was no explanation by the doctors, but I have it in my family, so my father has it, my uncles have it, and I have it,” he said.
