Earlier reports from TMZ indicated that a 911 call was placed from Hogan’s home, suggesting a possible cardiac arrest.
While police did not confirm this detail, it aligns with reports that the legendary wrestler had been dealing with serious health challenges in recent months.
Hogan had recently undergone a major surgical procedure, which had kept him largely out of the spotlight.
Remembering Hulk Hogan's legacy
For fans across generations, Hulk Hogan wasn’t just another wrestler. He was a global phenomenon. His influence stretched far beyond the squared circle.
Inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame twice, once in 2005 as a solo icon and again in 2020 with the New World Order (NWO), Hogan’s impact on the sport was profound.
He was a six-time WWE Champion, headlined countless WrestleMania events, and brought professional wrestling into the mainstream during the 1980s and 90s.
But Hogan’s fame wasn't confined to wrestling rings. He starred in films, launched successful TV shows, and won a highly publicised lawsuit against Gawker Media, which contributed significantly to his estimated $25 million net worth.
Since news of his passing broke, tributes have poured in from around the globe.
Fans, celebrities, and fellow wrestlers have all shared their grief and gratitude for a man who defined an era.
