Tina Turner\u2019s son Ronald \u201cRonnie\u201d Turner reportedly died Thursday. He was 62.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Police received a 911 call Thursday morning from an individual saying Ronnie was outside their home and struggling to breathe,\u00a0TMZ reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Moments later the queen of rock and roll\u2019s son stopped breathing entirely, according to the report.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n

Paramedics rushed to the San Fernando Valley location and attempted CPR, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Ronnie\u2019s widow, Afida, confirmed the news\u00a0on Instagram.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cMy god Ronnie turner a true angel hiuge [sic] soul highly spiritual my husband my best friend my baby iyour [sic] mummy your nurse i did the best to the end this time i was no [sic] able to save you love u for this 17 years this is very very very bad i am very mad \ud83d\ude21,\u201d she captioned a carousel of photos of her late husband.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cThis is a tragedy u with your brother craig and your father ike turner and aline rest in paradise \ud83d\ude4f\ud83d\ude4f\ud83d\ude4f\ud83d\ude4f\ud83d\ude4f\u2764\ufe0f\ud83d\ude2d\ud83d\ude2d\ud83d\udc94\ud83d\udc94 so unfair,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

While Ronnie reportedly suffered from health issues, including cancer, it\u2019s unclear what caused the medical emergency.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Ronnie\u2019s death is the second devastating loss for the retired singer. Tina\u2019s oldest son, Craig,\u00a0died by suicide in 2018<\/a>.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Tina turned 83 on Nov. 26.<\/p>\n

The Post has reached out for comment from the Los Angeles Police Department and representatives for Tina Turner.<\/p>\n
