ike turner died of coke overdose 191 5NoQj 26548

Turner died of a cocaine overdose.

The San Diego

medical examiner’s office confirmed the 'River Deep Mountain High' singer’s

death was caused by “cocaine toxicity”.

The report also listed hypertensive cardiovascular disease

and pulmonary emphysema as "significant and contributing factors" to

his death.

The 76-year old legendary musician was found dead at his

home in San Marcos, California,

on December 12. If we look back at his past life, Turner had battled an addiction with cocaine since the late

1960's until this addiction finally took his life in 2007. He even went to

prison for using drugs and could not attend his own Rock n' Roll Hall of

Fame induction because he was doing prison term.

The music

legend was married four times but he was more famously known as Tina Turner's abusive husband.

Turner married singer Tina Turner in 1958 and by 1972 they won a Grammy

for their cover of ‘Proud Mary.’
