Do you know anyone from Ottoman dynasty who died by suicide? MCK showed geverhan sultan died like that. I dont think it is real, but i want to know original incidents! ♥

Yeah, Ahmed I's daughter Gevherhan did not die like that (not even Handan, tbh, or basically anyone that takes their own lives in MC/MC:K). I did find a couple of members of the Ottoman dynasty who did commit suicide:

According to Alderson, the mother of Selim II's son Süleyman took her own life when her son was executed on Murad III's orders

Abdülaziz's death was ruled a suicide (he allegedly cut his own wrists with the scissor he used to trim his beard) but not even Murad V believed it, and this was one of the causes that worsened his mental health: he was afraid that whoever had killed his uncle would kill him next.

Abdülaziz's son Şehzade Yûsuf İzzeddîn Erendi actually committed suicide. In the last years of his life he had grown paranoid that he was going to be excluded from the succession:

As the constant pawn in the succession rule scenarios, Yusuf Izzeddin suffered grievously from this obviously stressful role and lived his later years in a kind of paranoia, until he committed suicide in 1916. See Türkgeldi: Görüp Isittiklerim, pp. 132-3: ‘Because of his surmises that he was going to be dropped as heir, Yusuf Izzeddin demanded that everyone, and even the Sultan Mehmed V, swear to God that he would not be removed from the position. The Sultan, due to his compassionate character, wrote a note with his very own hand assuring him that he was still the heir. But the effect of assurances in this matter was momentary; his suspicions returned after a couple of hours again’. — Itzchak Weismann, Fruma Zachs, Ottoman Reform and Muslim Regeneration

his life seems to have been quite tragic.

Abdülhamid II's son Şehzade Abdürrahim Hayri Efendi committed suicide by taking sleeping pills in a room of the Hôtel Saint-Honoré in Paris.
