Euphoria and The Idol producer Kevin Turen died after a medical emergency he suffered while behind the wheel of a Tesla that was on autopilot, TMZ reported Thursday.
The 44-year-old producer was taking his 10-year-old son back from a tennis tournament, Turen’s father, Edward, and friend told the outlet. His son reportedly managed to get the car over to the side of the highway safely before calling 911.
