We are absolutely heartbroken. Muhammad Ali sadly passed away on June 3 after being hospitalized just 24 hours earlier. He was 74 years old. Get all the details here.
We have lost a true legend. Boxing great Muhammad Ali passed away at the age of 74 on June 3, and we are absolutely devastated about it.
Muhammad Ali has died, according to ABC News. The report goes on to claim he was surrounded by his family as he passed away in the hospital.
This sad news comes after Muhammad was rushed to the hospital on June 2 for a respiratory issue. He was determined to be in fair condition following the hospitalization, according to his rep, but has now succumbed to the illness.
However, this was not the first time the former boxer has had health issues. He spent time in the hospital in Dec. 2014 after suffering a bout of pneumonia, and found himself back there in Jan. 2015 to be treated for an infection. Fans feared his death would actually come much sooner than now, too, because in Feb. 2013, his brother gave an interview claiming Ali couldn?t speak and would be dead in ?days.? His daughter refuted the statement at the time, though.
