Osman Bayezid Osmanoglu, the 44th and last head of the Ottoman family, died Friday at the age of 92 in New York, The Daily Sabah reported.
With the passing of Osman, there now remains no heir to the family that once ruled the vast Ottoman Empire, as he never married and had no children.
If the Ottoman monarchy were still in power today, he would be the Grand Sultan Bayezid III.
Osman was the second son of Sultan Abdulmecid I's grandson Ibrahim Tevfik, by his fourth wife Hadice Sadiye Hanim.
Osman was the first member of the House of Osman to be born in exile, and the first head of the family to be born after the breakup of the Ottoman Empire.
At a young age, his parents separated, and following his father's death, his mother Hadice Sadiye married a United States citizen and relocated to the US, where he lived the rest of his life.
