When Ian Watson was interviewed yesterday he didnt seem very sympathetic when asked about Jansin Turgut .

I thought that was pretty heartless of Ian Watson, and that response has made me even more unsympathetic to Salford's attempts to remain in Super League.

I have read that Jansin Turgut failed to take out holiday Insurance for his holiday to Ibiza . You can obtain Holiday Insurance for under £10.00 .
It is reported that he fell Three storeys from a car park . What situation must he have put himself in to fall Three storeys from a car park ? .

You can get holiday insurance for under £10- but it won’t get you much cover/ and certainly wont go far for something of this serious nature! He’s not just lost his luggage!

Jansin may have been stupid in not taking out travel
insurance. I agree it’s more than likely he and his mates were probably drunk and acting stupidly for Jansin to fall.

Still doesn’t mean he deserves the injuries he’s sustained and the main thing is he gets better and that’s where the focus should be. Not searching for blame or scrutinising every word from his former employer who have no responsibility to him whatsoever.
If he wasn’t in pro sport and had been sacked from a standard job there’s no way his previous employer would even be mentioned let alone involved.

Also given he is a professional sportsman you would have thought Insurance would be the top of his priority list .

When I was young & indestructible I didn't generally bother with travel insurance. Now I am old, wise & fragile I would.

Reading several articles that all state Turguts injury was sustained at 3 .a.m , falling three storeys from a Ibiza Car park . Sounds like he had a few beers and whatever else and acted the goat .
Rather than trying to ressurect his career he decided to go on Holiday uninsured , got drunk did something totally stupid and nearly killed himself.

It said on the BBC website that it was the Airport carpark so was he on his way home? Has anyone said he meant to do it (let’s hope not or whether it was an accident?

With regards the holiday insurance, his family should check his bank accounts as mine gives me free holiday insurance.

Had just split with his girlfriend too I hear

Report now saying his father has said that he phoned his Mum and said he was sat on the balcony and said “I love you” and then hung up...maybe it wasn’t to do with drink...and maybe he wasn’t in the right state of mind to think about taking out insurance...some folk are very quick to judge before knowing the full facts...

I hope he makes a full and speedy recovery...sounds like he’s been incredibly lucky! I’m a firm believer in life that things happen for a reason, so I hope going forward he gets the help and support he needs and some good can come from his miracle survival...

there wouldn't be a claim on insurance if it was deemed to be self inflicted

I think it was fairly apparent right from the start that it wasn't an accident. Given the circumstances, the tweets by his mates (Jackson Hastings primarily) and his own tweets about mental health, it was easy to put 2 and 2 together. I just didn't really think it was fair to speculate about stuff like that when the poor kid was looking in such a bad way.

As I had mentioned previously, one of his friends took his own life at the back end of last year, couple that with the reasons for his sacking from Salford and the rumour that his GF split with him as a result, it did appear to be what it now has come out to suggest. He has been incredibly lucky, a second chance, he needs to get help with his physical and mental recovery. Fingers crossed for him
