WWE legend Hulk Hogan has died at the age of 71, it has been confirmed.

The legendary grappler had faced health issues in recent weeks after undergoing numerous surgeries. We reported earlier this week that he was "unable to speak" and was being monitored at home by medical staff after having a bad reaction to surgery.
Hogan, who was hospitalised last month, is said to have been transported home from hospital after an adverse reaction to cervical surgery.
His ex-manager and long-time friend, Jimmy Hart, has said that the WWE Hall of Famer, 71, was unable to talk.
On an episode of ex-pal Bubba The Love Sponge's YouTube channel, co-host Lummy claimed he was told by Hart: "Hogan's not doing well. He he can't speak. His trachea or whatever was damaged and he's having problems and it does not look good. It does not look at all."

Hogan, who was the WWE's biggest star during the late 80s and early 90s, sparked concern among fans when appeared on tv to promote his new business ventures, with viewers taking to social media to say he looked 'unwell.'
In May, a representative for Hogan told US media that he had undergone a 'little fusion procedure' on his neck and was recovering quickly. His last known public appearance was a photo opportunity with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis later that month.
Last month, Bubba claimed Hogan was on his deathbed and that family members had been called in to say their final goodbyes. However, the claims were later denied by a spokesman for the legendary wrestler.

Just weeks before his death, the representative for the WWE icon denied speculation he was gravely after it was announced he had undergone a small "fusion procedure" on his neck.
The YouTuber claimed that things were "not looking good" for him. Denying the speculation, a representative said that Hulk's surgery had been "successful" and there were "no reasons to panic."
They added: "He just needs from time to time a medical check up."
