Teena Marie Dies at 54
Teena Marie dead on Sunday at her California home. Teena was only 54-year old. A four-time Grammy Award nominee who famously paired with late funk legend Rick James.
Marie was found dead by her daughter after apparently dying in her sleep, her manager Mike Gardner said.
While no cause of death has been released, the singer’s publicist Lynn Jeter said that Marie suffered a grand mal seizure — a neurological event, marked by loss of consciousness and violent muscle contractions a month ago.
“Luckily, someone was there,” Jeter said of that seizure. “The ambulance took her to the hospital, and on the way she had another seizure.”
Marie was expected to perform in Atlanta this coming week.
