Sad news today in the wrestling world and beyond. Randy 'Macho Man' Savage, known for his raspy voice and more recently for being the spokesman for 'Slim Jim' has died today in a car accident today in Seminole, Fla. Sources are saying possibly after suffering a heart attack, WTSP reports.
TMZ reported that Savage lost control of his Jeep because he suffered a heart attack.
WTSP quotes the Florida Highway Patrol as saying Savage was driving a Jeep Wrangler that veered out of control, jumped a concrete median and hit a tree.
It says the accident report indicates that he may have suffered a "medical event" before the crash, but that a final ruling would depend on the results of an autopsy.
His 56-year-old wife, Lynn, was a passenger in the car and suffered minor injuries, according to the accident report.
Savage, whose real name was Randall Mario Poffo, began wrestling with the WWF in 1985.
Wrestling superstar, Hulk Hogan, tweeted Friday: "I'm completely devastated, after over 10 years of not talking with Randy, we've finally started to talk and communicate."
He had so much life in his eyes & his spirit, I just pray that he's happy and in a better place and we miss him."
Randy 'Macho Man Savage' will be missed....
