In late April Rock's emotional 911 call to police after finding his assistant dead on his property was released.

In audio of the call, obtained by TMZ, the musician is at first calm - though noticeably shaken - as he tells the operator that he needs an ambulance and that it seems like his assistant is already dead.

But the singer quickly loses patience when his phone keeps breaking up and the operator repeatedly questions him about what happened. 

'Send an ambulance!' Kid Rock, real name Robert Ritchie, tells the operator.

'Ok, I have not yet because I need to know what's going on, What is your name sir?' the operator asks. 

'Send the ambulance now!' Ritchie responds, before the operator asks him to tell her exactly what happened. 

'I don't know,' he continues. 'There's a Polaris [a type of ATV], my Polaris is off the driveway, and it looks to be my assistant. He's dead!

'...There's a body laying next to it,' he adds. 

The operator begins to speak again but Ritchie quickly cuts her off. 

'I need a f****** ambulance!' he yells.

'Sir, I'm going to send you an ambulance, but I'm having a hard time hearing you. Your phone is breaking up badly. I heard you say your Polaris is off--

'What part of send an ambulance don't you f****** hear?' Ritchie snaps  

'Sir, you yelling at me is not going to help the situation, I'm just trying to figure out what's going on, ok?' the operator says. 

This is when a woman takes the phone from Ritchie and starts speaking to the operator more calmly. 

The woman, who does not identify herself by name, explains that they were leaving for the airport when they couldn't find Sacha, which was unusual. So they went looking for him and found him laying on the side of the driveway, not far from the crashed ATV. The woman explains that Sacha's head is 'smashed up' and it doesn't look like they can perform CPR on him. 

She begins to break down in tears as she asks the woman to send help.  

'[The ATV is ] in the trees and it's still running.We didn't touch anything. Oh my god...I don't think you can help him, just please send somebody, please?' she says. 

The conversation ends with the operator saying help is on the way, and to call back if they get any more information. 

Rock's assistant was killed sometime Sunday night of Monday morning at the musician's suburban Nashville property.   

Sacha, 30, was found lying face down on the side of a driveway of Rock's White Creek house early Monday morning.

He had apparently lost control of the vehicle and crashed on his way back to the house after he had been ferrying people who had been visiting for a cookout that night, police said.

Nashville Fire Department spokesman Brian Haas told The Tennessean that Sacha was dead by the time the department arrived.

A news release from the Metro Nashville Police Department says the accident happened when Sacha drove two people down the driveway to meet an Uber driver at midnight. 

Sacha crashed while riding the ATV back to the sprawling Tennessee property. 

Rock and a friend found Sacha on an embankment at 11.30 am Monday morning and called for help, according to TMZ.

The police department tweeted Monday evening that Sacha's death has been classified as accidental.

The singer, whose real name is Robert Ritchie, expressed his shock via a message posted on his website.

He said: '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.

'I know I speak for us all in sharing my deepest condolences to his family. I can not imagine how they must feel. Myself, the band, our family, friends and co-workers are devastated over this loss.'

Ritchie told The Tennessean he was supposed to go back to Michigan, but opted to stay in Tennessee until 'I can bring him home to his family.'

Ritchie 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.'
