Tina Turner's eldest son has committed suicide
Tina Turner's Oldest Son Craig Dies by Suicide at Age 59
Tina Turner’s oldest son, Craig Turner, has died by suicide, PEOPLE confirms. He was 59.
A spokesperson for the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner tells PEOPLE Craig was pronounced dead at 12:38 p.m. after being found dead in his Studio City, California, home from a self-inflicted gunshot wound on Tuesday.
His autopsy is pending. A rep for Tina did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
Craig is the son of Tina — who was just 18 when she gave birth to him — and saxophonist Raymond Hill, who performed with Ike Turner’s band Kings of Rhythm. Craig was adopted by Ike after he and Tina married in 1962.
Craig worked as a real estate agent in California, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
