Hulk Hogan, whose real name was Terry Gene Bollea, died on July 24, 2025, at the age of 71 from acute myocardial infarction, commonly known as a heart attack. He had a history of atrial fibrillation (an irregular heart rhythm) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), a type of blood and bone marrow cancer, which were contributing health factors. Emergency personnel responded to a call for cardiac arrest at his home in Clearwater, Florida, but he was pronounced dead at a hospital. His death was certified by his primary care physician and classified as natural causes. Hogan's wife had mentioned he had been dealing with health issues, though specifics were not initially disclosed publicly.
