Hulk Hogan’s Cause Of Death Revealed

Wrestling icon Hulk Hogan succumbed to a heart attack, with official reports citing acute myocardial infarction as the cause of death. The 71-year-old legend, whose real name was Terry Bollea, passed away on July 24 in Florida.

According to records acquired by Page Six, Hogan had also been struggling with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), a cancer affecting white blood cells, and had previously been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation — an irregular heartbeat condition.

His passing has been classified as due to natural causes, and the Pinellas County Forensic Science Center has received a request for cremation approval, though no date has been established.

Close friend Eric Bischoff, speaking on his 83 Weeks podcast, recalled their final emotional conversation. “He sounded tired… he said, ‘I really want to see you, but I’m kind of embarrassed for you to see me this way.’”

Despite his illness, Bischoff noted that Hogan’s personality remained consistent: “It was work for him to have a conversation, but he was the same guy.”

Hogan’s daughter, Brooke Hogan, shared a tribute in a poignant Instagram post, reflecting on their complicated relationship. “When he left this earth, it felt like part of my spirit left with him,” she wrote. Brooke disclosed that their relationship had been strained but mentioned they had reconnected during his illness.

She added, “We had been through almost 25 surgeries together… then everything started getting covered in a thick veil. It was like there was a force field around him.”
