Olympic skier Berkin Usta was tragically killed on Thursday after a fire erupted at a ski resort hotel in Turkey.

He was only 24.

The fatal incident occurred at the Kervansaray Hotel in Uludag, Bursa, when flames engulfed the structure in the early morning, destroying the ski resort.

Videos circulating on social media captured the intense blaze.

Two people, later identified as Usta and his 57-year-old dad, died in the fire. Twelve more were injured.

Usta and his pops were staying on the fifth floor of the hotel … and Berkin’s last Instagram post featured a fireplace, which matched the one in the hotel’s restaurant and bar.

Bursa mayor Mustafa Bozbey said the fire originated from the hotel’s cafeteria … saying they will investigate why Usta, his dad, and several hotel staffers were at the location, which had been closed after its permits were revoked.

“We conducted an inspection of this hotel in January. We identified deficiencies and shared them with the relevant institutions,” Mayor Bozbey said.

“There was information that the hotel was closed. It is being investigated why there were 12 people inside. If this is negligence, it must be revealed.”

This fire comes just two months after another deadly blaze at a ski resort in northwestern Turkey, which claimed the lives of 79 people.

The Turkish athlete was an alpine skier … who began his career with the 16 Sports Club in Bursa.

He competed in several events, including the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, China.

His father, a former skier, was serving as the president of the Turkish Ski and Snowboard Teachers Association when he died.

A New Jersey police chief is being accused of creating a toxic — and smelly — work environment … by defecating on the floors at the station, spiking officers’ coffee with Viagra and Adderall, sticking a hypodermic needle into the penis of a subordinate … and more.

The disturbing allegations come from five officers from the North Bergen Police Department, who submitted legal complaints this month — which TMZ obtained — to prepare to sue police chief Robert Farley for discrimination, harassment, using racial slurs, retaliation, sexual misconduct, and violation of civil rights.

The legal complaints obtained by TMZ also accuse Farley of exposing himself to the entire office while making inappropriate comments such as, “Hey, look, it’s bigger than you thought, right?”

One of the docs specifies … “Chief Farley has, on several occasions, pulled his pants down and defecated on the floor in front of his entire office staff.” In another instance, Farley allegedly defecated into a trash can in front of two coworkers … and left it there for days before finally agreeing to clean it up.

He is also accused of shaving his body hair over work desks, and repeatedly erupting in fits of rage, allegedly ripping a TV off a wall and smashing it … and smashing picture frames, and throwing eggs, according to the complaints.

Farley is also accused of smearing ink on door handles, poking holes in coffee cups, and sneaking dangerously hot peppers into coworkers’ food … one complaint says he heated one such pepper-infused meal in a microwave, causing fumes so unbearable the fire department was called to vent the building.

In addition to creating a chaotic work environment, one officer accuses Farley of harassing him and his family at home with the “delivery of inappropriate items such as gay pride flags, dildos, and masturbation cream” that his children saw.

Farley has been with the North Bergen Police Department for 26 years and was made chief in February 2024.

TMZ reached out to the Township of North Bergen for comment … so far, no word back.
