While Halil Ibrahim Tan continued his simple life as a Literature Teacher, his life darkened with 15 July injustices, and he was aggrieved by the Decree-Law. Tan, who died at the age of 63 as a result of a heart attack, was expelled from his 37-year career with the Decree No. 672 issued after 15 July. Tan had taught in Kutahya for years and trained thousands of students. Tan passed away as a result of a heart attack after getting up for the morning prayer and taking his ablution.
