Update: Teena Marie’s funeral service was held at the Aldous Funeral Home on Tuesday, December 28 where the “Ivory Queen Of Soul” was cremated. While on Monday evening before Teena Marie’s funeral was done, there was a prayer service at the singer’s home.
Marie’s daughter, Alia Rose, found her mother’s body in their Pasadena home one day after they celebrated Rose’s 19th birthday on Christmas day.

When they said there was no trauma they meant no trauma that lead to her death. Last month’s broken ribs didn’t lead to her death so that is not what they were talking about. They are not going to tell you every broken bone the women ever got in her life when trying to determine the cause of death.

Why does it seem as if some people (not necessarily Tracy) want Teena’s death to be something other than natural causes? Some of the comments on other blogs were making me sick to my stomach.
Not every celebrity death calls for this kind of speculation.

I hate to tell yall this…and I am gonna piss some folks off…but it was kinda a known fact that this lady had fallen off the wagon so to speak more than once…and waaaay prior to her passing there was rumors about how whatever label she was with at any given time had to clean her up so she could tour and record every few years (kinda like how I told yall about Sade and her suspected heroin habit but nobody listened…)
So for once I can see why the media and blogs are suspecting drugs off the top.

Agree. True music lovers know what the deal is. I wouldn’t care if she was polka dot, she could blow most of these artists today out of the water and could hold her own with the best of them. Not only was she a gifted singer, but a songwriter, musician and arranger. No one said she was black, but she had plenty of soul and much respect in the black community. People should give credit where credit is due and not judge because of skin color just like they don’t want to be judged by their skin color but by their actions, deeds or talent.

Can you actually pass away from a seizure.
LikeLike
@Ebony, Yes., you can pass away from a seizure. I have 2 family members who did so. One was 17, who had a seizure in our high school cafeteria during lunch and passed away. The other had one is his sleep and when his wife woke up he was laying beside her cold. he had recently had the surgery the year before to remove the portion of the brain that caused the seizure. It can happen, but most of all just pray for her daughter cause she is just a child, and to lose your mother so soon in life is devastating. She tweeted that she make her mom proud just last night. Sad!!

I was looking at an red carpet interview that she did in the mid-2000’s and the first thing that came to my mind was, “She is stoned out of her mind.” You could easily witness the slurring and she seemed very off balance. Also, if you are on siezure medication, you never stop it cold turkey. It will throw you into a siezure that could be potentially dangerous. I put my ownself in a bad situation once because I did not like how the siezure meds made me feel. I will not do it again.
RIP, Miss Teena. Your music will live on!
