When Ahmed passed away on 22 November 1617, he was placed in the Kafes with his half brothers Mehmed, Murad, Suleiman, Kasim and Ibrahim in unknown period during the reign of his uncle sultan Mustafa I and possible brother Osman II. After Mustafa was deposed and replaced by Osman, his half-brother Mehmed was exceuted under the orders of Osman one year before being Osman was murdered by his enemies that brought Mustafa once again in the throne. After Mustafa was deposed for a second time, Bayezid's half-brother Murad was placed in the throne before him due to been older a few months. However, on 27 July 1635, he was executed along his brother Şehzade Suleiman. The orders were carried out by Murad, the causes of his executions were unknown. It was most likely that he was found favored in the throne by murad's opponents and rivals that wanted to overthrown him, or simply the cruelty that had consumed Murad.
