Mississippi State football head coach Mike Leach passed away Monday night at the age of 61.
Steve Robertson, who covers Mississippi State athletics for 247Sports, reported that Leach was airlifted to the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson on Sunday morning.
The school later said that Leach suffered complications from a heart issue and was in critical condition.
On Monday, Robertson reported that UMMC had “transitioned into comfort care measures” for Leach. Comfort care measures are when the doctor tries to make the patient’s last few hours as comfortable and peaceful as possible and to essentially let nature take its course.
