Mysterious death of American journalist in Turkey last month...

It sounds like the investigation is going nowhere as both American and Turkish officials aren't commenting on the mysterious circumstances leading to journalist Serena Shim's death which has been called an accident, despite some disturbing comments on video shortly before her death. Shim is an American citizen of Persian descent. Our mainstream media also seems to be avoiding discussing it too. Here's a report on this from RT that's now airing it today. It would be interested in getting more info from other sources to get some balanced coverage of it and to find out more of what she was doing and how it might be related to the heightened tension between the U.S. and Turkey on how both ISIS and Kurdish groups are being dealt with in that area.
