Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A planned campaign westward was cut short when Selim was overwhelmed by sickness and subsequently died in the ninth year of his reign aged 49. Officially, it is said that Selim succumbed to a mistreated carbuncle. Some historians, however, suggest that he died of cancer or that his physician poisoned him.

Detailed explanation-2: -Nurbanu died at Istanbul on 7 December 1583, during the reign of her son Murad III. She was buried next to Selim II in his türbe (mausoleum) in the courtyard of Hagia Sophia, thus becoming the first wife of a Sultan to receive the honor of being laid to rest next to her spouse.

Detailed explanation-3: -It’s clear that Selim was the first disinterested sultan among the Ottomans. Addicted to sexual and alcoholic pleasures, passing most of his time in the harem, Selim, known in the history as “Selim the Drunk", retired almost completely from the decision-making and administrative apparatus of the Ottoman state.
