    Life is precious. Hopefully he's got some healthy kids and he had a chance to teach them something.

    (CNN)Pitcher Roy Halladay, who won two Cy Young awards and more than 200 Major League Baseball games during a stellar career, died Tuesday in a plane crash off the Florida coast, authorities said.

    Halladay, 40, was the only person on the two-seater plane that crashed just off New Port Richey on the Gulf coast north of the Tampa Bay area, Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco said.
    The single-engine plane, an Icon A5, crashed in very shallow water and was found upside down.
    A 911 call came in at 12:06 p.m. ET saying that a small plane had crashed. There were no distress calls, the sheriff's office said.
    Icon A5s are considered light, amphibious airplanes. They can land on water or land, have folding wings and can be transported by trailers.
