Tina Turner's Oldest Son Commits Suicide At 59

Tina Turner's oldest son Craig Raymond Turner has committed suicide. Craig was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, aged 59, at his home in Studio City, California on Tuesday, TMZ reports.

Craig was pronounced dead at the scene at 12.38pm and Los Angeles County coroner's office assistant chief Ed Winter confirmed his death was being reported as suicide, although the official autopsy is pending.

His famous mother Tina, 78, who was seen attending Haute Couture Paris Fashion Week just a few short hours before her son was found dead, was just 18 when she gave birth to Craig, whose father was a saxophonist named Raymond Hill.
