The mystery behind Hulk Hogan's sudden death

This happens when blood flow to the heart suddenly stops, causing damage. Page Six reported this based on documents from the Pinellas County Forensic Science Center. Records also show that Hogan had atrial fibrillation (AFib), a heart problem where the heartbeat becomes irregular and fast. The WWE legend also had a type of blood cancer called Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) It affects white blood cells called lymphocytes. These health issues were mentioned in the medical report by the District Six Medical Examiner after his passing. It wasn't publicly known that he also had cancer. He had recent health issues as well and underwent a major neck surgery in May. Rumours claimed he had been in a coma. However, his wife, Sky Daily, denied it.
