Yesterday, the world lost a legendary athlete. “The Greatest,” in fact.
Muhammad Ali died after a 32-year battle with Parkinson’s Disease.
As the world mourns this devastating loss, his daughter Hana Ali has shared the details of his death in a social media post.
In the photo above of her with her dad, she calls him a “humble mountain” and asks fans to “pray for the peace of his beautiful soul and for the happiness of his further journey.”
In a second post, she reveals that at the time of his passing, the boxer was surrounded by loved ones expressing their love and support.
“Our hearts are literally hurting. But we are so happy daddy is free now.
“We all tried to stay strong and whispered in his ear, ‘You can go now. We will be okay. We love love. Thank you. You can go back to God now.’
All of us were around him hugging and kissing him and holding his hands, chanting the Islamic prayer.”
Then, Hana recounts, something truly remarkable happened.
“All of his organs failed but his HEART wouldn’t stop beating.
“For 30 minutes… his heart just kept beating.
“No one had ever seen anything like it. A true testament to the strength of his spirit and will!
“Thank you all for your love and support!”
Incredible. Even in his dying moments, Muhammad Ali floats like a butterfly, and in our hearts, it stings like a bee.
RIP Muhammad Ali.
