Ike Turner died of an accidental cocaine overdose, the San Diego County Coroner revealed today.
Paul Parker, Chief Investigator at the Medical Examiner's Office, said, "We are listing that he abused cocaine, and that's what resulted in the cocaine toxicity."
Ike's daughter Mia told the AP that her father's drug use was "an ongoing struggle."
Turner died on December 12 at his rented San Marcos home.
1. I MET IKE TURNER AROUND TEN YRS AGO IN NYC.hE WAS A VERY NICE MAN, AND ALL I CAN SAY ABOUT THE MOVIE THAT TINA WROTE ABOUT HIM IS THAT IT TAKES TWO TO TANGO (IN OTHER WORDS I AM SURE SHE WAS NOT AS INNOCENT AS SHE PRETENDED TO BE!) STILL THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR VIOLENCE.HOWEVER HE SEEMED TO BE A CHANGED MAN,UNFORTUNATELY HE COULD NOT GET OFF THE DRUGS.COCAINE IS A TERRIBLE DRUG.i OVERDOSED ON IT ONCE AND ALMOST DIED(SMOKING) SO I KNOW THE DANGERS AND IT IS A WASTE OF LIFE.hOPEFULLY SOMEONE WILL READ THIS AND NOT DO DRUGS. GOD BLESS ALL OF Y'ALL OUR THERE,THOSE USING AND THOSE NOT.

6. How does one die of an accidental overdose of cocaine? It's illegal to have it in the first place, so if you take it, it's no accident. Anyway, one less druggie.

12. I HAVE TO TRULY SAY WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND. I AM VERY SORRY FOR IKE'S FAMILY AND FOR THEIR LOSS. BUT AFTER SEEING THE MOVIE WHAT'S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT, I CAN'T SEEM TO GET THE IMAGE OUT OF MY MIND OF HIM RAPING HIS OWN WIFE WHILE HE WAS HIGH ON COKE OR WHATEVER HIS CHOICE OF DRUG WAS AT THE TIME.
RIP IKE!!!!
