Kid Rock discovered the body of his 30-year-old assistant, Michael Sacha, on his Nashville property Monday after a gruesome ATV crash. Police believe that Michael died after transporting guests in a Polaris four-wheeler from a cookout on Kid Rock’s sprawling estate to an Uber at the property’s driveway around midnight. High speeds in one of the Polaris 2015 models tops out at around 63 mph.
Sacha’s body was discovered by Rock around 11 a.m. the following morning, reports WSMV. Kid Rock’s 911 call shortly thereafter is chill-inducing.
Kid Rock released a statement expressing his sadness over losing a colleague and friend.
“I am beyond devastated to report that my personal assistant Mike Sacha passed away today in an ATV accident here in Nashville. He was a member of our family and one of the greatest young men I have ever had the pleasure to not only work with, but also to become friends with. I know I speak for us all in sharing my deepest condolences to his family. I can not imagine how they must feel. Myself, the band, our family, friends and co-workers are devastated over this loss. We were supposed to be back in Michigan today, but I am going to stay here with Mike until I can bring him home to his family. We’ve already been contacted by the press asking if it was me who was in the accident, so I want to stop any rumors before they spread. I’m asking everyone to please respect our and his families’ privacy in this difficult time. RIP Mike. We will never forget you, my friend.”
