Sasha McHale, daughter of Houston NBA coach Kevin McHale, dies at 23

Sasha McHale's Twitter account went silent on Nov. 3, just a week before her father, Houston Rockets coach and former Boston Celtics great Kevin McHale, took an indefinite leave of absence from the NBA team for what were termed personal reasons. Just how personal and devastating those reasons were came to light Sunday when 23-year-old Sasha died after being hospitalized for complications related to lupus, which she reportedly had battled for years. It also made one of her last posts even more heartbreaking: "The only good thing about being sick on my birthday," she wrote on Oct. 27, "is spending quality time with my dad." [Source]
