Hulk Hogan‘s official cause of death has been revealed … and it was a heart attack.
Records from the Pinellas County Forensic Science Center show the 71-year-old Hall of Famer died from acute myocardial infarction, according to the NY Post.
The condition is commonly known as a heart attack.
Hogan, per the medical records, had a history of atrial fibrillation, a heart condition that causes an irregular heartbeat. HH was also diagnosed with a form of cancer, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), though details surrounding the cancer are unclear.
TMZ Sports broke the story Thursday morning. 71-year-old Hogan was rushed to the hospital at 9:51 AM after 911 received a call for “cardiac arrest” at Hulk’s Clearwater, FL home.
Despite paramedics and doctors’ best attempts, Hogan was pronounced dead at a local hospital a few minutes after 11 AM.
Since his passing, millions of fans have mourned his death worldwide … with some of the most famous people in the world, including President Donald Trump, who expressed condolences over Hogan’s death.
Hogan was open about his medical issues over the years … but his wife, Sky, said weeks ago his heart was “strong” as he recovered from surgeries — while also denying rumors the icon was in a coma at the time.
He even claimed to have had at least 25 operations in a 10-year span following his retirement.
Hogan was honored at WWE events following his death … and his son, Nick, was present for a tribute at “Raw” earlier this week.
