The WWE world got devastating news about a week ago when they learned about the death of Hulk Hogan. Since then, there had not been any update on the cause of his death, until now.
Records from the Pinellas County Forensic Science Center show that Hogan, whose real name was Terrence Gene, died from an acute myocardial infarction, which is known as a heart attack, according to TMZ. Hogan also had a history of atrial fibrillation, a heart condition that causes an irregular heartbeat.
Hogan had a history of leukemia, but that was not previously known.
On the day of his death, police and medics were called to Hogan's house in Florida for a person suffering cardiac arrest. The first responders tried to revive Hogan for 30 minutes, and he was then taken to a local hospital, where he was declared dead.
The WWE issued a statement about the Hall of Famer's death, saying, “WWE is saddened to learn WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan has passed away. One of pop culture’s most recognizable figures, Hogan helped WWE achieve global recognition in the 1980s. WWE extends its condolences to Hogan’s family, friends, and fans.”
Other wrestlers and celebrities also sent their condolences to Hogan and his family, and the WWE did a tribute for him during Friday Night SmackDown and Monday Night Raw.
Hogan was known as one of the more iconic wrestlers in entertainment history and had faced off against some of the best in the business as well. Though Hogan had an illustrious career, there were also some controversial moments in his life, such as some racist remarks he had made.
Hogan will always be remembered in WWE history, and it's safe to say he had a big part in how the business has been shaped over this time.
