Oray was born in Üsküdar, Istanbul, Turkey, on October 13, 1942. He had been a professional actor since 1963, appearing in both film and television roles.[1]

Oray was found dead in his hotel room in Köyceğiz, Muğla Province, Turkey, on the Aegean Sea, on August 11, 2009.[1] An autopsy carried out in Istanbul revealed that he had died of a heart attack.[1] Oray had been staying in Köyceğiz while attending a local film festival.[1] He was survived by his wife and two children.[1]

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan sent condolences to Oray's family and the acting community saying, "I am deeply saddened by actor Aykut Oray’s death."[1]

The leader of Turkey's Republican People's Party (CHP) Deniz Baykal also gave tribute to Oray, a member of the CHP, "Aykut Oray has shown his faith in an organized society and resolution in taking responsibility by joining the CHP. His death is a big loss for both the artistic community and the democratic political community."

gollark: I mean, at the extreme end you could have everything be done by one syscall, which does *not* seem better.
