Tmz Reports : Clearwater, Florida – Wrestling icon Hulk Hogan has passed away at the age of 71. The WWE superstar died early Thursday morning at his home in Clearwater, Florida, after emergency medical services were dispatched in response to a call regarding a cardiac arrest, as reported by TMZ.
Authorities arrived to find police cars and EMTs parked outside Hogan’s residence. He was subsequently transported by stretcher to an ambulance. Hogan is survived by his third wife, Sky, whom he married in 2023, as well as his two children, Brooke, 37, and Nick, 34, from his first marriage to Linda Claridge. He also leaves behind two grandchildren.
Hogan’s death comes just weeks after Sky Hogan denied rumors circulating about his health, claiming he was not in a coma and that his heart was “strong” following a routine neck surgery. His representative had assured the public that despite his ongoing health issues, there was no emergency.
Over the past decade, Hogan had undergone 25 surgeries, including multiple back operations, knee and hip replacements, and shoulder surgeries. His health became a topic of concern among fans when he made an appearance on Fox & Friends in May, showcasing a noticeably different appearance that sparked online discussions.
In the 1980s, Hogan played a pivotal role in transforming WWE from a regional promotion into a global phenomenon, headlining eight of the first nine WrestleMania events. His larger-than-life persona and charisma made him one of the most beloved figures in professional wrestling history.
In recent years, Hogan also made headlines as a celebrity endorser for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, notably participating in public events that showcased his support.
As fans and fellow wrestlers mourn the loss of this legendary figure, tributes continue to pour in, celebrating Hogan’s lasting impact on the world of sports entertainment. DailyMail.com has reached out to Hogan’s representatives for further comment but has not yet received a response.
