May 20, 2011 | Posted by Larry Csonka

UPDATE x3: Randy Savage’s remains are going to be transported to the Pinellas County Medical Examiner’s Office for an autopsy.

It was previously reported that cops didn’t suspect drugs or alcohol were involved.

UPDATE x2: And here is a photo of the accident…

UPDATE: The Florida Highway Patrol has spoken with TMZ, and here are more details. Savage was driving his 2009 Jeep Wrangler when he veered across a concrete median. He then went through oncoming traffic and collided head on with a tree. Savage was transported to Largo Medical center, where he died from his injuries. Savage’s wife Lynn was in the car with him, and survived the crash with minor injures. She had been transported to a different hospital for treatment. Officials have stated that Randy and Lynn were both wearing their seatbelts at the time of the accident and that alcohol was not a factor.

ORIGINAL: According to TMZ, Randy “Macho Man” Savage died in a car accident earlier today in Tampa, FL. Lanny Poffo spoke with TMZ and stated that his brother suffered a heart attack while he was behind the wheel around 10AM today, and from there lost control of his vehicle. Savage, 58, just celebrated his one-year wedding anniversary to wife Lynn earlier this month.

On behalf of 411, I would like to extend my condolences to the family, friends and fans of Randy Savage.
