He died of a heart attack in Bodrum, a popular tourist destination in the southwest Turkish Riviera, where he was on vacation.[1][2][3] He was incumbent for a relatively short period, beginning on February 14, 2008 and serving until his death on July 5, 2008.
During his presidency, the Turkish national football team qualified for the semi-finals at UEFA Euro 2008, held in Austria and Switzerland.
