Ike Turner's Last Moments Revealed

TMZ has exclusively learned how the events of Ike Turner's last moments played out.

Ike Turner had just finished eating breakfast last Wednesday morning at his home in San Marcos, Calif. and decided to lay down to rest for a few minutes. His personal assistant was at the house, along with members of the Kings of Rhythm Band. One of the musicians from the band went to wake Ike up, and he was non-responsive. We're told paramedics were called around 11:00 AM and unsuccessfully performed CPR.

The cause of death is not yet known, but according to Turner's manager, Ike had been suffering from emphysema for years and the disease was getting progressively worse.

16. Do you think he made it to Heaven? This is a serious question that requires a serious answer. Thanking you in advance.

17. Good riddance to a nasty wife beater. That's a weight off of Tina's shoulders.

19. toBy9@2:30PM - It has NOTHING to do with neoliberalism - conservatives are far more likely to smack their women, idiot.
Liberals are kinder to their women on principle. Your political agenda is not educated or even rational.

20. to FAKE@2:26PM - How do you know that he didn't figure it out? Half of that generation finally figured it out, and all were deeply sorry, but couldn't undo damage done in many cases. You get smarter as you get older, and so did Ike. If you had talked to Ike in later days, you'd be preaching to the converted.

22. To#16CA girl @2:30PM - 'Do not beat your wife' is not one of the ten commandments. Spare the rod and spoil the child is in the good book somewhere, not that I agree with it. He didn't murder anyone. I do know that God is about forgiveness, and if the perpetrator is GENUINELY sorry (REPENTANT) and sincerely asks God for forgivenss, God will forgive, according to everything I've read. So if you believe there is a heaven, and there is a God, perhaps he did get in.

24. Uh, actually, I've never had an STD, do not have AIDS, am not a Dem, nor a liberal, would never abort or sanction abortion, or beat anyone for any reason, am not fascist, am not racist, and come from a forces family who fought the Nazis. I am not black, nor a crack head, nor have any 'crack bros.' So why do try to push your anti-neo liberal agenda with false and eronious groundless insults pulled out of the blue? You can present your opinions on paper better than that, can't you? You have all your liberal and conservative traits and accusations all mixed up, and you are all over the place and just plain nasty to be nasty.
I'm sure that somewhere in there you have something worth saying or listening to, but the way you present yourself precludes anyone reading here from taking anything you say seriously. Seriously. Not that I expect you to 'get' what I say, nor do you probably care to. Whatever, dude.

25. WTF - aka Ike-ette lowlife. The rap community lost a prized gangsta & are too lazy & diseased to praise him once again.

26. Tina may be set totally free by this - who knows how her demons have played out - peace

Smoking is the real killer of Ike here - hope he rests in peace.

27. You don't have to keep changing your handle, 9 or L or Q. You can stay the same person; I can take it. You don't have to try to convince me there are three people when you are just one.

28. So many men behaved like that in those days because those attitudes were taught and perpetrated that there is a very long line up of souls asking for forgivness at those pearly gates.

29. #21 Give Ike Some Credit -- No, he never made amends, especially to his ex Tina. He was 76 years old, and I stand by my statement. He was just busted last year or so for carrying a weapon, gun, whatever.......some get it, some don't....What's
love got to do with it? A lot, that's what!

Sorry to CA girl, my cap lock was on.

30. FAKE - That's just sad then, if you know of what you speak. I wonder if he was sorry in his mind, but just couldn't cross that bridge. Is it or is it not legal fort people in the U.S.to carry guns? What's all that stuff about the NRA and the fighting for your right to bear arms?
