Christopher “Big Black” Boykin’s ex-wife, Shannon Turley, took to Twitter to let fans know that she and the former couple’s 9-year-old daughter, Isis, are devastated by his death.
As TMZ reported on Wednesday, Turley told the site that Boykin was hospitalized in Plano, Texas, for several days so that doctors could monitor his heart. According to the outlet, Boykin, who had been battling heart issues for years, had a defibrillator implanted in his chest.
Per TMZ, Turley — who divorced Boykin in 2009 — revealed that her former spouse was not on a list to receive a heart transplant, but was, according to doctors, heading in that direction. Turley told the site that Boykin had been living with her in Texas because of his health issues.
