Today in Istanbul, thousands joined funeral prayers in absentia for Morsi. Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan attended the prayers.
After the prayer, Erdogan commented on the death of his close ally, saying that he does not believe that Morsi died of natural causes.
“Mohammed Morsi walked to join God during the trial. Whether this was a normal walk, or there were some other conditions involved, this is something to think about,” he said.
“I don’t believe that this was a normal death,” Erdogan added.
