It has now been confirmed that Kid Rock’s assistant, Michael Sacha, was very intoxicated at the time of his accidental death as a result of an ATV accident. Sacha’s blood alcohol level was .21, and in the crash, Sacha’s brain was severed from his spinal cord. Kid Rock found Sacha’s body at his Nashville home, and called 911 in a panic.

Accidents that happen while under the influence of drugs and alcohol are sadly common, and the rich and famous and their friends and family are not spared. According to the Inquisitr, Vince Neil, formerly of Motley Crue, was recently involved in a drunken altercation in Las Vegas, but Neil was behind the wheel of his car, drunk, when he was in an accident which killed a fellow musician named Razzle.

The Daily Mail is reporting that autopsy results are now in for Michael Sacha, the assistant of Kid Rock who died at Kid Rock’s estate in Nashville, and they show that Sacha should not have been operating a motor vehicle because he was incredibly drunk at the time of his death, after a cookout at the home of Kid Rock.

Sacha had a blood alcohol level of .21, which is nearly three times the criminal level of being under the influence. Late last month, a tape of Kid Rock, aka Robert Ritchie, was made public with Kid Rock yelling that 911 emergency needed to send help right away. Kid Rock was obviously shaken when calling 911, as he was the first person to find Sacha’s body and call for help.

Kid Rock quickly loses patience with the 911 operator who continues to ask the distraught Kid Rock questions while not confirming that she has sent an ambulance.

“Ok, I have not yet because I need to know what’s going on, What is your name sir”‘ the operator asks.

“Send the ambulance now!”

“I don’t know,” he continues. “There’s a Polaris [a type of ATV], my Polaris is off the driveway, and it looks to be my assistant. He’s dead!

“…There’s a body laying next to it. I need a f****** ambulance!”

A woman then takes the phone from Kid Rock, and explains the circumstances surrounding the body of Sacha, 30, who seems to be dead on the lawn of Kid Rock.

“[The ATV is ] in the trees and it’s still running. We didn’t touch anything. Oh my god…I don’t think you can help him, just please send somebody, please?”

The accident was thought to have happened late Sunday night or Monday morning, as Sacha was allegedly ferrying visitors back to their cars after a cookout at the home of Kid Rock. Sacha’s body was found along the driveway that leads up to the Nashville home of Kid Rock.

The Tennessean says that understandably, Kid Rock is devastated by the accidental death of Michael Sacha. The accident took place on the land surrounding Kid Rock’s Whites Creek estate, likely in the early morning hours on Monday, April 25. Kid Rock put out a statement to describe the loss of Sacha in this accident.

“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 cannot imagine how they must feel.”

Kid Rock remained in Nashville to help in any way he could, and asked for respect and privacy for Sacha’s family.
