Tina Turner’s oldest son, Craig Raymond Turner, was found dead Tuesday after committing suicide.

He was 59.

Turner, a realtor in Studio City, California, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, the Los Angeles Coroner’s Office told the Daily News. He was pronounced dead at his home.

He was born in 1958 to the legendary singer, who was 18 at the time, and Raymond Hill, a saxophonist for Ike Turner’s band, Kings of Rhythm. Ike later adopted Craig as his own after the two were married.

The “Proud Mary” singer, 78, currently lives in Switzerland after renouncing her U.S. citizenship. She was seen Tuesday walking the red carpet at Haute Couture Paris Fashion Week for the Giorgio Armani show.

Hill died in 1996.
