Rest in Peace, Macho Man

“Macho Man,” Randy Savage died in a tragic car accident early this morning. Police believe that the retired 58-year-old wrestler suffered a heart attack while driving, causing him to lose control of his 2009 Jeep Wranger and swerve into oncoming traffic before hitting a tree. His wife, Lynn, was also in the car, and they both had their seatbelts on. She sustained minor injuries and was taken to a local hospital.

Wrestlers have tweeted their condolence:
