In the process, they were searched from head to toe and everything of value was taken from them.[8]On 4 June 1876,[9]Abdulaziz died under mysterious circumstances.[10]

Nazime Sultan, a ten-year-old girl, continued to live in the Feriye Palace with her mother and eight-year-old brother.[11]Recounting the event in an interview to Adil Sulh Bey years later, Nazime said:[12]

Any claims that my father committed suicide are deceitful. I saw it with my own eyes that they murdered my father.[13]

In 1912, the "Hilal-i Ahmer Centre for Women" was organized within the "Ottoman Hilal-i Ahmer Association", a foundation established in 1877 to provide medical care in Istanbul and surrounding communities.[18]In May 1915, during theGallipoli Campaign,as the member of this organization, Nazime donated 50 Turkish liras to a hospital to purchase beds and other goods for soldiers.[19]
