According to a spokesman for the West Virginia State Police, McCoy was driving on Route 5 near the Elizabeth bridge when he lost control of his vehicle and went off the right side of the road and over an embankment.
The spokesman says McCoy, who was alone in the vehicle, might have suffered a medical emergency that led to the crash.
McCoy came of age on the historic Fairfax Farm near Annamoriah.
