In 1494, [[Italian War of 1494–1495|Charles VIII invaded Italy, to take possession of the Kingdom of Naples]], and also announced a crusade against the Turks. He compelled Pope Alexander VI to surrender Cem, who left Rome with the French army on 28 January 1495. The prince died in Naples on 24 February. Some accounts attribute his death to poison, but he probably succumbed to pneumonia.{{Citation needed|date=June 2016}}

Sultan Bayezid declared national mourning for three days. He also requested to have Cem's body for an [[Islamic funeral]], but it was not until four years after Cem's death that his body was finally brought to the Ottoman lands because of attempts to receive more gold for Cem's corpse. He was buried in Bursa.<ref name=":1" />
