Tina Turner’s son Ronnie, 62, was found dead by emergency responders in his home in Los Angeles following a battle with colon cancer.
The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner Coroner’s office also revealed that Mr. Turner also had obstructed arteries and he passed away from complications of metastatic colon carcinoma.
According to the report, he suffered from atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease at the time of his death.
Atherosclerosis is the narrowing and hardening of arteries due to cholesterol plaques lining the artery, reducing blood flow and blocking the arteries.
It is the usual cause of strokes, heart attacks, and peripheral vascular disease.
According to TMZ, Ronnie was found struggling to breathe outside his home. Emergency services rushed to his San Fernando Valley home where they found neighbors attempting to resuscitate him.
However, their efforts were not successful and the 62-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene.
A new report showed that Mr. Turner died from colon cancer.
His grieving wife Afida Turner, 45, took to Instagram and shared a tribute to her beloved partner, revealing he suddenly became sick.
“F*** cancer,” she added.
Sharing a picture of Ronnie and his late father, Afida described her husband as an ‘amazing soul’ with the ‘heart of a giant’ and ‘a terrific musician and bass player.’
Ronnie and Afida got married in 2007 after rose to fame starring alongside his mother in the 1993 biopic What’s Love Got To Do With It.
He also played in his own band Manufactured Funk.
Only four years ago, Ronnie’s older brother, Craig, took his own life at his Studio City home. He was declared dead at the scene from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Tina Turner wrote on Twitter at that time: “My saddest moment as a mother. On Thursday, July 19 2018, I said my final goodbye to my son, Craig Raymond Turner, when I gathered with family and friends to scatter his ashes off the coast of California.”
“He was fifty-nine when he died so tragically, but he will always be my baby,” she added.
