Clearwater Fire & Rescue medics rushed him to a nearby medical facility, where he was pronounced dead at 11:17 am - no foul play suspected.
Hogan’s wife, Sky, whom he married in September 2023, had previously refuted claims of his declining health, insisting his heart remained strong despite recent surgeries.
Hulk Hogan was a cultural phenomenon who later transformed professional wrestling into a global spectacle.
From the 1980s to the early 2000s, he headlined iconic WrestleMania events, fuelling the WWE’s (then WWF) rise to fame during wrestling’s golden era, per BBC.
His charisma captivated fans of all ages, and he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2005. In 2020, he was honoured as part of the New World Order (NWO).
Tributes have flooded in from across the world following the confirmation of his death.
Outside of wrestling, Hulk Hogan starred in movies, launched reality shows, and secured a significant legal victory in a lawsuit against Gawker Media, adding millions to his estimated $25 million net worth at the time of his death.
Tributes have flooded the comment section of the footage shared on TikTok.
