Wrestling Legend Hulk Hogan Dies at 71 After Cardiac Arrest
The world of professional wrestling is mourning the loss of one of its most iconic figures after a medical emergency ended in tragedy.
Hulk Hogan, the legendary figure who helped catapult professional wrestling into mainstream culture, died at 71 on July 24, 2025, following a cardiac arrest at his home in Clearwater, Florida. The WWE icon’s sudden passing brings to a close a career that redefined the sport and left a permanent mark on global entertainment.
According to TMZ Sports, emergency responders were dispatched to Hogan’s Florida residence around dawn on Thursday. He was carried into an ambulance shortly afterward.
Weeks ago, his wife, Sky Daily, had refuted claims that Hogan was in a coma, claiming that even after several heart surgeries, he was doing well.
Just a month earlier, TMZ had reported rumors of Hogan being in his final days, but sources said he was simply dealing with symptoms related to a neck treatment he underwent last May.
Hulk Hogan changed the face of professional wrestling with his wild personality, turning it into a family sport that reached wider audiences. Furthermore, in 1996, he created the New World Order, which launched him into Hollywood and earned him more fame.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
