Former Washington State Cougars football coach Mike Leach has died, according to a statement from his most recent employer, Mississippi State University.

Leach, 61, was hospitalized Sunday after what the university called 鈥渁 personal health issue鈥 that happened at his home in Starkville, Miss. The university says Leach passed away on Monday due to complications from a heart condition.

“Mike was a giving and attentive husband, father and grandfather,” a statement released by the family through the university said. “He was able to participate in organ donation at UMMC as a final act of charity. We are supported and uplifted by the outpouring of love and prayers from family, friends, Mississippi State University, the hospital staff, and football fans around the world. Thank you for sharing in the joy of our beloved husband and father’s life.”聽聽

Washington State Athletic Director Pat Chun released a statement via the Twitter account shortly after the announcement of Leach’s death.
