He passed away on Jan 7, 2014 at 11:45PM at the Adnan Menderes Research Hospital. Mrs. Uluerguven explained his condition as follows: "In 2012 he had a hemiplegia, but had a speedy recovery. After that, he fell and fractured his hipbone. He had a surgery at Aydin University Hospital and recovered quickly again, despite his age.

His funeral will be held at the Zincirlikuyu Cemetery and he will be buried beside his son, Eren Uluerguven, who passed away in 2004 at the age of 21.
