The wrestling legend was pronounced dead at the hospital on July 24 less than 90 minutes after medics arrived at his home, police said.
Pro wrestling legend Hulk Hogan’s cause of death has been confirmed.
Hogan died from acute myocardial infarction, more commonly known as a heart attack, according to a document provided by the Pinellas County Forensic Science Center.
Page Six was first to report Hogan’s cause of death.
The document from the District Six Medical Examiner also revealed Hogan had a history of atrial fibrillation, an irregular heart rhythm and leukemia CLL, a type of cancer of the blood and bone marrow.
It doesn’t appear that Hogan’s cancer battle was public knowledge.
Hogan’s manner of death was ruled to be from natural causes, the report stated.
The cause of death update came in a cremation summary approval report by the medical examiner’s office. A spokesperson for the medical examiner’s office told Page Six they weren’t aware of any details regarding cremation, “only that we received a request for cremation approval.”
Hogan, one of the most well-known professional wrestlers in the world, died on July 24 at the age of 71.
Police had been called to Hogan’s home in Clearwater, Florida, about a cardiac arrest. Hogan was taken to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead less than 90 minutes after medics arrived at his home, police said.
Hogan, whose real name was Terry Gene Bollea, became a professional wrestler in 1977, but rose to international fame after signing with the World Wrestling Federation, which later became the WWE.
Earlier this year, it was announced that Hogan would be the commissioner of a new venture called Real American Freestyle wrestling. Hogan’s Real American Beer was set to serve as the league’s title sponsor, and he had plenty of support.
Hogan said at the time that he knew some fans would be shocked that his next step wasn’t going to involve pro wrestling, but he was confident in his decision.
“The idea was so exciting that I get a chance to be involved with all these young people and help guide them in any way, especially to make them huge stars and create a future for them,” he said. “People might be surprised, but wrestling is wrestling, brother.”
