Boxing legend Muhammad Ali, 74, passed away on June 3 after a long battle with Parkinson's disease.
He was rushed to the hospital on June 2 for a respiratory issue and was stable as doctors treated him, his family spokesman Bob Gunnell said in a statement to WDRB.
However, his condition worsened soon after he left the hospital. He passed away after being placed on life support earlier in the day.
Apart from being a legendary boxer, Ali was a philanthropist and civil rights icon. Noted Hollywood personalities and celebrities took to social media to share their touching messages and favourite memories of Ali.
