His Majesty Sultan Mahmud Shah died in 1630 and was buried on the banks of the Perak river, Kampung Tok Melor. After almost 300 years, his majesty Sultan Mahmud Shah's tomb has been moved from its original location. This is because the original location of Sultan Mahmud Shah's tomb is located so close to the Perak River that it almost sank into the river. Therefore, the tomb of Sultan Mahmud Shah was moved to Kampung Melayu. Now the location of the tomb of Sultan Mahmud Shah is located in Pulau Tiga, the same area as the tomb of Sultan Muhammad Shah (the 14th Sultan of Perak).

He had a son named Raja Kobat, who would later be known as Sultan Salehuddin which succeeded him after his death.
