Ted Turner's death at 87 could be filed as a cable obituary and still miss half the record. Turner Enterprises, speaking for the family, announced that he died peacefully on May 6, surrounded by family, and described him as a philanthropist, environmentalist, and cable pioneer [1]. It also named the cable facts readers expect: CNN, Cartoon Network, TNT, and TCM [1].

The same family statement keeps the land and species work beside the television work. It says Turner donated more than $1 billion, helped save imperiled and endangered species, preserved more than two million acres of land, and served bison through Ted's Montana Grill [1]. Those details make conservation a central part of the public record rather than a decorative paragraph after CNN.

The Washington Post page timed out in this run, so the brief uses only its search-visible frame: Turner was a cable TV visionary who created CNN, died at 87, and left a legacy spanning conservation, philanthropy, and professional sports [2]. The accessible official source supports the death, age, family, network, philanthropy, land, and species claims; the Post source is cited only for the broader obituary frame visible in search. That boundary keeps the profile factual without importing uncited anecdotes.
