(ANSA) - ROME, APR 14 - The team mates of Julia Ituma, the 18-year-old Italian volleyball player who died after falling from a window in a hotel in Istanbul on Wednesday night in a suspected suicide, on Friday expressed shock and sorrow at what happened.
"We would have wanted so much for Julia to have shared her pain because, in life as in sport, any hurdle becomes easier to overcome if you face it together, as a team," the Igor Volley Novara players said in a statement.
"We are unable to come to terms with what happened, we can't make sense of it.
"Nothing gave a signal that something like this could happen, otherwise we would have intervened, supporting each other as we are used to doing every time one of us finds themselves in difficulty".
Turkish newspaper Hurriyet reported on Friday that Ituma told her team mates and coach she was not feeling well and wrote "goodbye" in the team's WhatsApp group.
Ituma was in Turkey for a Champions League match with the team.
