When he died, they buried him in the Valley of the Kings. After some time, they moved his remains to a royal cache. Priests were considered about looting, so they then relocated the body to the tomb of Queen Ahmose Inhapy after rewrapping it. Only 72 hours after that, they moved it to the tomb of Pinedjem II. His coffin had hieroglyphics that confirmed this. They discovered his remains in 1881.
