B.B. King's Kids Say He Was Murdered by His Business Manager
Earlier this month, a coroner determined that B.B. King’s death was caused by a series of mini-strokes. Now the late bluesman’s kids say his cause of death was tied to something much more nefarious—poison.
King’s health began deteriorating over the last year and he reportedly entered a home hospice two weeks before his May 15 death. Both King’s physician and the Las Vegas coroner who examined his body attributed his death— multi-infarct dementia caused by a series of small strokes—to his type 2 diabetes.
At the time, the AP reported that the doctors believed King’s “strokes resulted from reduced blood flow as a consequence of chronic diabetes — or unhealthy fluctuations in blood sugar levels.”
Now, the AP reports, at least two of King’s daughters say that they believe King’s business manager, LaVerne Toney, poisoned King to death. But Toney—a longtime employee who was reportedly the last person to see King alive—has been at legal odds with his kids for some time now.
