Hulk Hogan’s official cause of death has been revealed, after the wrestling star died aged 71.
The former world champion, real name Terry Bollea, was one of the biggest names in the sport, and most recently worked as a WWE brand ambassador.
His family last week confirmed Hogan had died, with the Clearwater Police Department operators stating the medical call was regarding a ‘cardiac arrest’.
Hogan’s cause of death has now been revealed as acute myocardial infarction, otherwise known as a heart attack, according to the New York Post.
Hogan also reportedly had a history of atrial fibrillation (AFib), which is a heart condition which results in an irregular and often rapid heart rate.
The record seen by the publication are also said to state that the former WWE star had a history of leukemia CLL, which is a type of cancer that affects white blood cells.
‘Just before 10 AM, Clearwater Police Department responded to a house in the 1000 block of El Dorado Avenue for a medical related call,’ Major Nate Burnside said at the time of Hogan’s death.
‘It was discovered at that time that Terry Bollea, also known as Hulk Hogan, was experiencing a serious medical related issue.
‘Personnel provided medical treatment at that time and transported Mr. Bollea to Morton Plant Hospital, where he died at 11:17am.
The Clearwater Police Department went on to say they were conducting a standard medical investigation and said there were no signs of foul play on the scene.
