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.
