Death
Suleyman, in whom Orhan Gazi seen grand prospects of further success for the house of Ottoman, had died before his father. An accidental fall from his horse, while he was engaged in the favourite Turkish sport of falconry, caused his death. Suleyman was not buried at Bursa, but, by Orhan's order, a türbe (tomb) was built for him in Bolayır, on the shore of the Hellespont, over which he had led his race to a second empire.
