A heart attack caused the death of the Hulk Hogan professional fight icon, authorities said Thursday, a week after the greatest artist who died in Florida.
His cause of death was formally listed as “acute myocardial infarction”, a technical term for a heart attack, according to the Forensic doctor of the Six district who investigates deaths in the Pinellas and Pasco counties.
Hogan’s death was called “natural” with a pathologist who points to the story of the “atrial fibrillation” and leukemia.
Clearwater’s police and firefighters rushed home exactly a week ago to respond a call of “cardiac arrest” at 9:51 am, the city said in a statement.
The first to respond led Morton Plant Hospital, where he was declared dead at 11:17 am, police said.
Hogan, whose real name was Terry Gene Bollea, helped revolutionize Pro Wrestling, making it entertainment niche to the conventional monster.
His mischievous shirts and exaggerated performances led to the fashion of “Hulkamania” of the 1980s, which reached his vertex in 1987 when he hit his superstar companion of wrestling André, the canvas giant in Wrestlemania III.
