The death raises the toll from the attacks on 15 March to 51.

 

Turkey's Foreign Minister minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said on Twitter the man who was "critically wounded in the treacherous attack in Christchurch" had died.

 

Police said in a statement they were informed late last night that a man injured in the Al Noor Mosque on 15 March had died.

 

The 46-year-old had been in a critical condition in Christchurch Hospital since the terror attack.

 

The man's brother told Turkey's state-run Anadolu news agency that his injured relative was taken to surgery on Thursday, but could not be saved.

 

"He had surgery today, they couldn't stop the bleeding so we lost him. We were happy because we thought it was going well, he had been battling for 50 days," his brother said, according to Anadolu.

 

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said in a statement the sad news would be felt across Turkey as well as New Zealand
