Update: Tina Turner?s son? Ronnie, 62, died due to complications from colon cancer as coroner reveals he also had obstructed arteries

Ronnie, aged 62, the son of Tina Turner, has tragically passed away after battling with complications arising from colon cancer and obstructed arteries, as verified by the coroner’s report.

The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner Coroner’s office determined that Mr. Turner, who was discovered deceased at his residence on Thursday, December 8, succumbed to ‘complications of metastatic colon carcinoma’.

The coroner’s report disclosed that at the time of his death, Ronnie Turner was also enduring atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, a condition resulting from the accumulation of cholesterol plaque in the artery walls, leading to restricted blood flow.

It was revealed that Ronnie, who had previously overcome a cancer diagnosis, was found in distress outside his Los Angeles home last Thursday morning, as reported by TMZ. Emergency responders rushed to his residence in the San Fernando Valley, where they discovered individuals attempting CPR, but unfortunately, Ronnie was pronounced deceased at the scene.

The exact cause of his passing was only recently disclosed, with the latest report identifying colon cancer as the primary factor, according to Page Six.

His battle with cancer lasted a mere three weeks, as indicated in the coroner’s report, shedding further light on his medical condition.

Posting a tribute to Ronnie on Instagram, Ronnie’s wife, Afida Turner, 45, expressed her shock at his sudden illness, adding, ‘F*** cancer’.

Sharing a photograph of Ronnie and his late father, Afida described him as ‘a talented musician and bass player’ and an ‘extraordinary soul’ with the ‘heart of a giant.’

Ronnie’s passing marks the latest tragedy for the renowned family, following the suicide of his elder brother, Craig, at the age of 59, four years ago at his Studio City home.

Craig was declared deceased on-site from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
