On July 3, Craig Raymond Turner, Tina Turner's eldest son, was found dead in his home located in Studio City, northwest of Los Angeles, California, according to the US website Hollywood Reporter. According to local authorities, the cause of death was suicide.

Ed Winter, assistant chief of the county coroner's office in that city, announced that the singer's son, who is 59 years old, shot himself in the head; however, the corresponding autopsy is being carried out in a timely manner to publicize the final verdict.

For its part, the American media Variety reported that the victim worked as a real estate agent in California, where he belonged to the corresponding unions. In addition, the incident took place just a few hours after the interpreter of "What´s love Got to do with it" was present at a fashion show by designer Giorgio Armani in Paris, France.

The now deceased came into the world when his mother was only 18 years old and is the result of the rocker's romantic relationship with saxophonist Raymond Hill. Years later, the then boy was adopted by Ike Turner, the singer's husband. It is known to all that Ike physically and psychologically mistreated his wife. This marriage lasted 16 years.

Tina Turner currently lives in Switzerland with her husband Erwin Bach. In 2005 she retired and went to live in Europe and since 2013 she renounced her American nationality. He is survived by three other children Ronnie, Ike junior and Michael.
