British journalist found dead at Turkish airport
Source: The Guardian
Tributes have been paid to a British journalist who has died in Turkey in suspicious circumstances.
Jacqueline Sutton died at Istanbul’s Ataturk airport, according to local media reports. The Turkish newspaper Hürriyet said she was en route to the Iraqi city of Irbil and was due to change flights in Turkey.
It was not clear how Sutton had died, with some reports saying she had taken her own life. But fellow journalist and development worker Rebecca Cooke called for an international investigation.

She was reported to be the acting Iraq director for the Institute for War and Peace Reporting (IWPR) at the time of her death.

USIP joins the many other organizations, friends and family honoring the life of Ammar al-Shahbander, the Iraq chief of mission for the Institute for War & Peace Reporting (IWPR), who died May 2 in Baghdad as a result of a car bomb attack. A number of USIP staff worked with Ammar to advance his country’s search for peace and security.

I would expect both her home and her workplace would be better protected
than a place where you have thousands of faceless people wandering around
for hours on end.
Missing a connecting flight provides an opportunity thanks to nature providing
the necessity for a visit to somewhere less public than anything prior to that.
(+ Anyone tailing her would be in the same state from missing the intended
connection.)
Not claiming it was so - at present all we can say is "died in suspicious circumstances"
as in the OP - but just following through on your previous comments!
