On December 8, 2022, Ronnie Turner, Tina Turner's son, unfortunately passed away at the age of 62.
At that time, according to TMZ, a caller claimed that Ronnie was having respiratory difficulties and later stopped breathing. Paramedics were sent to his house in the San Fernando Valley as a result.
As witnesses administered CPR, Ronnie was declared dead at the site. At the time, his health was clear, although he had previously fought cancer, as is known.
A coroner has now verified that Tina Turner's son passed away after a struggle with colorectal cancer and blocked arteries.
According to the coroner's findings, Ronnie Turner had atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease at the time of his death, which causes blood flow to increase as a result of the buildup of cholesterol plaque in the artery walls, according to Page Six.
The coroner's findings also revealed that his brief struggle with colon cancer barely lasted three weeks, which provided more insight into his health.
But unlike the disease he previously overcame, this colon cancer apparently ravaged his body in just three weeks.
