Honestly. I didn’t think anything amiss with Ike Turker’s death. At 76 he was no spring chicken, I figured the whole natural causes thing. Turns out the Ikester died of a cocaine overdose.
"We are listing that he abused cocaine, and that’s what resulted in the cocaine toxicity," said Paul Parker, chief investigator at the medical examiner’s office.
The medical examiner’s office also listed hypertensive cardiovascular disease and pulmonary emphysema as "significant and contributing factors" to Turner’s death, Parker said.
Ike’s daughter isn’t a believer. She said his emphysema was such that he was permanently affixed to an oxygen tank and that he was rather weak his last few days. The proof is in the tox screening, though, and Ike does have a history.
