Another tragedy for singer Tina Turner.
Son Ronnie, as revealed by the international website TMZ, died at his home in Los Angeles at the age of 62. The man was allegedly found unconscious by neighbors, who attempted unsuccessfully to revive him.
The cause of death is still unknown but he was known to have had health problems for years, including cancer. The singer, who in 2018 had already lost her firstborn Craig – who committed suicide -, has not yet released any statement.
According to the reconstructions of the police, someone would have alerted 911 Thursday morning saying that Ronnie was having difficulty breathing. The efforts of the paramedics were useless: the man died shortly after.
On Instagram the farewell post of his wife Afida : «My God, you were a true angel. My husband, my best friend. I have tried my best in these 17 years but this time I have not been able to save you. Now you are with your brother Craig and your father.'
The American singer's son had starred opposite his mother in the 1993 biopic "What's Love Got To Do With It" . Turner then recounted the abusive relationship with ex-husband Ike, father of Ronnie, in her autobiography "My Love Story" in 2018.
