Ike Turner passed away on December 12, 2007, from a cocaine overdose, at the age of 76. He was suffering from high blood pressure and emphysema, which likely contributed to his death. Ike had been addicted to cocaine for over 15 years and served 18 months in jail for drug related offenses. He kept clean after his release from jail in 1991 until 2004, when he relapsed, culminating with his overdose in 2007. Tina Turner did not attend his funeral.
