TMZ has reported that legendary professional wrestler Randy Poffo, best known as worldwide superstar "Macho Man" Randy Savage, died this morning at 9:25 AM local time in Tampa, Florida. He was 58 years old. TMZ was given the news by his brother and fellow pro wrestler Lanny Poffo. Florida Highway Patrol told TMZ that Savage was driving his 2009 Jeep Wrangler with his wife in the passenger seat when he suffered a heart attack and lost control of the vehicle. They went over the median and into incoming traffic before "colliding head-on with a tree." They were transported to Largo Medical Center, where he died from his injuries. His wife Lynn was sent to a different hospital and suffered minor injuries but physically will be fine. They were wearing their seatbelts and alcohol was not a factor.

More on this as it develops, including a look at how his career developed from being the most talented wrestler unable to get a job in a major company to one of the biggest stars in the history of professional wrestling.

Our condolences go out to his family and friends.
