Wrestling Legend Hulk Hogan Dies of Cardiac Arrest in Florida

Wrestling legend Hulk Hogan, born Terry Gene Bollea, died at age 71 following cardiac arrest at his Florida home, with no signs of foul play according to authorities. In recent years, Hogan faced numerous health challenges including chronic back and neck pain, undergoing multiple surgeries such as a complex four-level neck fusion in June 2025, which affected his vocal cords and required breathing and feeding tubes. Despite rumors of a coma or critical condition, his wife Sky Daily clarified he was recovering and had a strong heart weeks before his death. Fellow wrestler Kurt Angle revealed Hogan had lost feeling in his lower body following surgery, requiring a cane to walk, though Hogan's representative denied these claims. Hogan had a history of extensive medical procedures, including 25 surgeries in the past decade, addressing issues from his wrestling career and reportedly illegal steroid use. He was known for pioneering 'Hulkamania' and remained active in wrestling promotion until shortly before his death.
