NASHVILLE, TN — Heartbreaking 911 calls placed from Kid Rock’s Nashville property following the death of his personal assistant, Michael Sacha, in an ATV accident have been officially released, offering a raw and emotional glimpse into the immediate aftermath of the tragedy. The incident, which occurred on Monday, prompted a frantic search and ultimately revealed the devastating accident on the grounds of Kid Rock’s estate.
The released audio reveals Kid Rock’s initial, distressed discovery and call for help. “My assistant looks to be dead from a Polaris accident,” Kid Rock can be heard stating, his voice strained with urgency and disbelief. As he attempts to direct emergency services to his location, the gravity of the situation becomes increasingly apparent. “My Polaris is off the driveway… it looks to be my assistant… he’s dead… there’s a body next to it,” he explains to the 911 dispatcher, the shock and distress palpable in his voice. The urgency in his voice underscores the sudden and unexpected nature of the event.
As the call progresses, the emotional toll becomes even more evident when Kid Rock hands the phone to a friend. This individual, audibly emotional and closer to the immediate scene, continues to communicate with the 911 dispatcher, navigating the difficult moments while grappling with the unfolding tragedy. The released 911 calls paint a vivid picture of the chaotic and grief-stricken moments as friends and emergency services responded to the scene.
Metro Nashville Police Department reports indicate that officers were dispatched to Kid Rock’s property along Knight Drive at 11:36 a.m. on Monday. Upon arrival, they confirmed the death of 30-year-old Michael Sacha, discovered on the embankment of the property’s lengthy driveway. Investigations revealed that Sacha had been providing transportation for guests earlier in the night. Around midnight, he drove two individuals down the driveway to meet their Uber driver. Tragically, while returning to the residence on the ATV, Sacha apparently lost control of the vehicle and crashed.
Kid Rock initiated a search for Sacha late Monday morning when he realized his assistant was missing. This search tragically led to the discovery of the accident scene and the subsequent 911 call. Authorities have classified Sacha’s death as accidental, resulting from the ATV crash on the private property.
In a public statement released on his website, Kid Rock expressed his profound grief and devastation. “I am beyond devastated to report that my personal assistant Mike Sacha passed away today in an ATV accident here in Nashville,” he wrote. Describing Sacha as “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,” Kid Rock conveyed the deep personal loss felt by his entire entourage. He also preemptively addressed potential rumors, clarifying that he was not involved in the accident and requesting privacy for Sacha’s family and friends during the difficult period. The release of the 911 calls further underscores the somber reality of this tragic accident and the profound impact it has had on those close to Michael Sacha.
