Boxing icon Muhammad Ali died as a result of septic shock, according to a family spokesman. Ali, who passed away late Friday aged 74, will be laid to rest in Kentucky next week
Ali had been admitted to an Arizona hospital earlier in the week, but his condition quickly deteriorated.
"We still had a lot of hope it was going to turn around," Gunnell said. "His final hours were spent with just
immediate family," he added. "He did not suffer." The three-time world heavyweight champion and outspoken civil rights activist died Friday night at the age of 74. He had long suffered from Parkinson's disease, and had been hospitalized a number of times in recent years.
"He'll be remembered as a man of the world who spoke his mind and wasn't afraid to take a chance and went out of his way to be a kind, benevolent individual that really changed the world," Gunnell said.
