If your Spanish is good see here:

http://istanbul.indymedia.org/?l=tr My Spanish is crap, but it appears the man suffered a cardiac arrest, and subsequently died, after riot cops shot liberal amounts of various crowd control gasses in central Istanbul. Combat between around 4000 protesters and riot cops looked pretty heavy too, with over 100 arrested. ITN reported on protests earlier today, dunno if they've since covered the death?
Of course, the police actions may have been caught on CCTV, but if so then like the cops whose actions killed Ian Tomlinson...they'll have absolutely nothing to worry about.
Solidarity and vengeance against all killer cops.
