An autopsy revealed that wrestling great Randy "Macho Man" Savage did not actually die from any injury sustained in his May 20 car crash.
The St. Petersburg Medical Examiner's Office found that the 58-year-old had apparently "stepped into" one too many Slim Jims.
He became unresponsive while driving his Jeep Wrangler on a Florida highway in May, causing him to crash into a tree.
While the auto accident only left minor cuts and bruises, the Slim Jims were the official cause of death of the wrestler.
(CBS) The death of Macho Man Randy Savage was a shock to wrestling fans. So were the results of the ex-pro wrestler's autopsy..."The crash had nothing to do with his death." William Pellan, director of investigations for Pinellas-Pasco Medical Examiner's Office in Largo Fla., told Tampa Bay Online. "He just happened to be driving when he had a cardiovascular event."...Savage's autopsy also found traces of alcohol and hydrocodone (Vicodin). But the examiner's office says that didn't contribute to the crash. His blood alcohol level was well below the legal limit at 0.031, and the medicine in his blood was at a non-abusive "therapeutic levels," according to the Times.
