Emergency services were called to the WWE superstar's home in Clearwater, Florida, early Thursday morning following reports of a cardiac arrest.
A video captured from outside Hogan's residence shows paramedics fervently working to save his life as he was transported to an ambulance, with several responders performing chest compressions.
According to police reports, emergency officials responded to the call at 9:51 AM, where Hogan received initial treatment from Clearwater Fire & Rescue personnel before being rushed to a nearby hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
During a press conference on Thursday afternoon, Clearwater Police Major Nate Burnside confirmed Hogan's time of death as 11:17 AM, noting that there were "no signs of foul play or suspicious activity."
Last month, there were concerns about Hogan's health, with reports suggesting he was on his "deathbed." However, sources indicated at the time that he was recovering from symptoms related to a neck procedure he underwent in May.
Born Terry Gene Bollea, Hogan revolutionized professional wrestling, transforming it into a mainstream family entertainment spectacle. Before his rise, wrestling appealed to a limited audience, but Hogan's charisma and theatrics captured the hearts of children and parents alike, helping to elevate the sport's popularity.
Hogan ignited a cultural phenomenon known as "Hulkamania" after defeating the Iron Sheik for the World Heavyweight Championship in 1984, a movement that endured for decades, marked by fans emulating his signature bandana and handlebar mustache.
In 1996, Hogan transitioned from a heroic figure to a villain by creating the NWO (New World Order) and adopting the persona of Hollywood Hulk Hogan, which further propelled both his career and the wrestling industry into new heights.
Hogan's career was filled with numerous iconic performances, cementing his legacy in the world of professional wrestling.
