A Kurdish teenager died on Sunday night as protesters clashed with police in the city of Adana, southern Turkey.
The as yet unnamed youth was taking part in a protest against the construction of new military posts in the Kurdish majority region.
He was hit in the head by a stun grenade thrown by anti-riot police, according to the internet version of daily paper Radikal.
But the official Anatolia news agency claimed he died after a homemade explosive device he was handling exploded.
Police fired teargas and used water cannon to disperse the crowds, who had thrown rocks during the protest.
There have been a series of protests against the construction of new army posts in Kurdish-majority areas, seen by protesters as a threat to the peace process launched in 2012 between the government and the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK).
