Kid Rock's personal assistant, Mike Sacha, was found dead on the grounds of the singer's Nashville property after an ATV crash on Monday.

Rock found the 30-year-old lying face down at his residence in White Creek, Tennessee, early Monday morning.

Sacha is thought to have met with the accident while escorting guests to an Uber from the Detroit rocker's cookout on the 160-acre estate on Sunday night. Sacha lost control of the ATV and crashed the vehicle on his way back to the residence, according to Metro Nashville Police Department.

After he was nowhere to be found at the residence, Rock went looking for Sacha, when he came across his dead body on the side of a driveway on the property, after which he called for help, the police said.

In a statement posted on his website, Rock, whose real name is Robert Ritchie, said that he was "beyond devastated" to lose Sacha.

"He was 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," he said. "I know I speak for us all in sharing my deepest condolences to his family. I cannot imagine how they must feel."

Rock said that he and Sacha were scheduled to return to Michigan but will be staying back in Tennessee to "bring him back to his family."

"We've already been contacted by the press asking if it was me who was in the accident, so I want to stop any rumors before they spread," he added. "I'm asking everyone to please respect our and his families' privacy in this difficult time. RIP Mike. We will never forget you, my friend."kid rock
