Due to the fact he disappeared in mysterious
circumstances, it is not known for certain where his
resting place lies. According to Iranian scholar
Mohammad-Ali Movahhed, he probably died in the
city of Khoy (modern-day Iran) on his way to Tabriz
shortly after leaving Konya. There is indeed a site in
Khoy on the road from Konya to Tabriz, associated
with the name of Shams-e Tabrizi that dates back to
at least 1400.
