Tina Turner and her family just suffered a tragic loss as her son Ronnie Turner was recently found dead at his LA residence. Emergency services received a 911 call, possibly from Ronnie’s wife, Feda, Thursday morning, who reported that Ronnie was having difficulty breathing just outside their home and asked them to rush there. As the paramedics reached the San Fernando Valley address, they saw his neighbour’s performing CPR, but their efforts were in vain, and Ronnie was declared dead.
The reason behind Ronnie’s medical complications and death is still unclear, but he’s known to be having health issues and was also battling cancer. His mother hasn’t given any response to his passing yet. Ronnie had put his name in Hollywood acting in the 1993 movie ‘What’s Love Got to Do With It’ in which he co-starred with his mother. Ronnie was born to Tina and Ike in 1960. Tina’s eldest son Craig with musician Raymond Hill was a realtor and committed suicide in 2018 by shooting himself in his Studio City home.
