The New York Post – WWE legend Hulk Hogan died of a heart attack, according to the Pinellas County Forensic Science Center records obtained by Page Six.
Hogan, 71, suffered from acute myocardial infarction, commonly known as a heart attack, and had a history of atrial fibrillation (AFib), the most common cardiac arrhythmia — or irregular heartbeat.
Per the records, the WWE Hall of Famer had a history of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), which is a type of cancer affecting white blood cells.
It was not public knowledge that Hogan had ever battled cancer.
His manner of death was ruled natural, according to the cremation summary approval report.
A spokesperson for the medical examiner’s office told Page Six, “I am not aware when Mr. Bollea will be cremated, only that we received a request for cremation approval.”
Hogan, whose real name was Terry Bollea, was taken by ambulance from his home in Clearwater, Fla., on July 24, with a 911 call citing “cardiac arrest.” He died at the hospital.
His current wife, Sky Daily, called his death “sudden” in an Instagram message last Friday.
During Tuesday’s installment of his “83 Weeks” podcast, Hogan’s close friend, fellow WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff, said Hogan “sounded tired” and appeared “weak” during an hour-long visit in Florida a few weeks before his death.
“[Hogan] said, ‘I really want to see you, but I’m kind of embarrassed for you to see me this way because I’ve been pretty sick,’” Bischoff said …
