On June 3, the world lost a legend with the passing of Muhammad Ali at the age of 74 due to a respiratory issue. Known for being controversial in and out of the boxing ring, he was an inspiration to everyone.

Ali was a true fighter until the very end. As his daughter Hana describes in the tweet below, all of his organs failed, but his heart just wouldn't stop beating.
