Hulk Hogan's official death certificate revealed including details of what will happen to his remains
It emerged this Thursday that he succumbed to acute myocardial infarction, which is commonly referred to as a heart attack.
Now, his death certificate has also been revealed, containing details of what is to be done with the late athlete's mortal remains.
Hogan has been scheduled for cremation at the Bay Area Crematory in Clearwater, Florida, the city where he had been living at the time of his passing.
His memorial service has been booked at the Sylvan Abbey Memorial Park and Funeral Home in the same city, according to the death certificate obtained by TMZ.
The document was issued this Thursday - the day his cremation approval report disclosed Hogan had been privately battling chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), a form of cancer that affects white blood cells known as lymphocytes.
A cremation approval report obtained by Page Six indicated that Hogan had previously been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation — a condition marked by a fast and irregular heartbeat, as defined by the Mayo Clinic.
The wrestling legend died on July 24 in Florida, aged 71.
Hogan's death was officially attributed to natural causes.
Page Six also noted that the Pinellas County Forensic Science Center provided updates regarding his cremation.
A spokesperson for the medical examiner's office told the outlet: 'I'm not aware of when Mr. Bollea will be cremated, only that we've received a request for cremation approval.'
His official cause of death follows on from claims Hogan felt 'weak' and 'embarrassed' shortly before he died.
Eric Bischoff, his good friend, shared details of his last-ever meeting with Hogan. Speaking on the 83 Weeks with Eric Bischoff podcast, he explained: 'I could tell he was weak. He sounded tired.
'[Hogan] said, 'I really want to see you, but I'm kind of embarrassed for you to see me this way because I've been pretty sick.' When I look at you, I don't see the same thing you see when you look in the mirror, so f*** that, I'll be down Monday.'
Hogan's personality still shone through in their conversations, despite his health struggles.
Eric shared: 'It was work for him to have a conversation but he was the same guy.'
Earlier this week, Brooke Hogan took to social media to pay tribute to her dad and to reflect on their turbulent relationship.
The 37-year-old star said on Instagram: 'When he left this earth, it felt like part of my spirit left with him. I felt it before the news even reached us. I know he's at peace now, out of pain, and in a place as beautiful as he imagined. He used to speak about this moment with such wonder and hope. Like meeting God was the greatest championship he'd ever have.'
Brooke also used her post to 'clear a few things up' regarding their estrangement.
The realty star wrote: 'It was a series of private phone calls no one will ever hear, know, or understand. My father was confiding in me about issues weighing on his heart, both personal and business. I offered to be a life raft in whatever capacity he needed. I told him he had my support. I begged him to rest, to take care of himself.'
Brooke and her husband, Steven Olesky, actually moved closer to the wrestler as he battled with health problems.
She said: 'We had been through almost 25 surgeries together, and then all of a sudden he didn't want me at surgeries…everything started getting covered in a thick veil. It was like there was a force field around him that I couldn't get through. (sic)'

Meghan Markle raises a glass of rosé and frolicks in a sun-soaked garden as Duchess teases new As Ever release on the eve of her 44th birthday
Meghan Markle shared a glimpse of her new rosé wine to Instagram as she teased a new As ever release on the eve of her 44th birthday. The Duchess of Sussex shared a video of herself carrying a wicker basket filled with flowers and bottles of As Ever Napa Valley rosé laid in white linen ahead of her birthday on Monday, August 4. While Meghan's face did not feature in the video, it showed her wearing a short white dress as she frolicked in the grass, thought to be at her Montecito estate near Santa Barbara, California. She showed off her stack of rings on her left ring finger, including her engagement ring, wedding ring and an infinity ring, estimated to be worth around £210,000. She also wore a gold Cartier Love Bracelet, which costs up to £7,050, and a gold Cartier Tank Watch that once belonged to Princess Diana, both of which she regularly wears. The clip later showed a view of Meghan's swinging feet as she sits atop a stone garden wall, clad in £720 tan-coloured Hermes Santorini sandals. The words 'Coming soon...' appeared over the video to tease the launch of her new 2024 Napa Valley Rosé. Shared on the official As Ever Instagram page last night, the caption read: 'Goodness in a glass. Right around the corner... 'Cheers to August!' Meghan's latest post comes after she announced another product coming to her As Ever line - although some of her customers were baffled as to what was actually new. The Duchess launched her lifestyle brand As ever earlier this year, releasing the first products in April, which included a range of teas, a raspberry spread, and a limited-edition wildflower honey with honeycomb, amongst other things. She followed it up with an apricot spread and another honey, and in July, she expanded into the world of alcohol when she dropped her own wine - the 2023 Napa Valley Rosé. Each release has been met with fierce excitement from her fans, and every product has sold out pretty quickly. Now, the Duchess of Sussex 's brand has announced its newest product... but it might not garner the same amount of enthusiasm since it's not very different from her last item. The company revealed on Wednesday that following the buzz surrounding the 2023 Napa Valley Rosé, it will be launching another wine, with a slight tweak - calling it the 2024 Napa Valley Rosé. And it vowed that it will pretty much taste the same as As Ever's first wine. Meghan described her new bottles as 'goodness in a glass' 'It marries the same harmony of notes from our first blend and creates an elegant medley of delicate yet memorable flavor,' reads a press release. 'You'll want to clink glasses with friends as the sun sets, toasting to a summer of joy. 'Barefoot or in sandals, dressed up or dressed down, this rosé may become your favorite accessory for alfresco lunches and dinners at dusk.' In the release, As Ever listed some of the positive feedback customers had given the company over its first rosé, which included comments like, '10 out of 10,' 'perfect,' and 'elevated flavor'. 'This affirmed all of the love, time and effort our team, and our founder, poured into curating this blend to evoke the sun drenched spirit of Napa Valley, and the breathtaking tenor of the California Coast,' As Ever added. 'Thank you for filling our cup. Now it's time for us to fill your glass! We are pleased to share that our 2024 Napa Valley Rosé will be available for purchase next week.' The brand also posted to Instagram with a series of images showing the new wine resting in beach sand. It was uploaded alongside a caption that read: 'Oh, how we love seeing the world through rose colored glasses. Rosé colored glasses? Perhaps even better. Our new vintage of As Ever's beloved rosé is available next week. 'Stay tuned for more details and timing.' As Ever's first wine went on sale on July 1 and sold out within the hour. Customers were able to purchase three bottles for $90, six bottles for $159, and 12 bottles for $300. Last month, Daily Mail exclusively revealed that the alcoholic beverage is made by Fairwinds Estate, a California winery that creates bespoke wines for celebrities. The 2023 Napa Valley Rosé is described on the bottle as a 'delicately balanced rosé with soft notes of stone fruit, gentle minerality, and a lasting finish.' It has a 14.5 percent alcohol by volume for the 750ML bottle. The Daily Mail FEMAIL team tried the rosé and while the wine was smooth, we couldn't easily detect the notes of stone fruit. In fact, it tasted quite bland, and almost water-y. In addition, the rosé had some acidic notes, leaving a somewhat uncomfortable sensation at the back of our throats after swallowing. In the end, the verdict was the wine lacked flavor and tasted affordable and ordinary. It wasn't terrible - but it certainly wasn't great. We felt the rosé just didn't taste like you bought it at a fancy vineyard, where it's supposed to be made, but rather, like a wine you would be served at a work happy hour. The FEMAIL team also reviewed her initial set of products, and found that Meghan's raspberry spread was too thin, too sweet, and very runny. Her hibiscus tea was extremely bitter with heavy notes of floral, with one taste tester comparing it to 'drinking lip balm.' 'It tasted like dirty dishwater,' another FEMAIL writer shared. Some of us couldn't even bear to swallow it, as one person even spat it back into the cup. As for her honey, we didn't enjoy the 'waxy' taste of the honeycomb or the super strong wildflower aftertaste.

Hailey Bieber shares a rare photo of son Jack as she gives an insight into summer after admitting she 'struggled to accept' the surprise pregnancy
Hailey Bieber shared a rare photo with her son as she gave an insight into her summer on Sunday after admitting she 'struggled to accept' the surprise pregnancy. The model, 28, who shares Jack Blues with her husband Justin, welcomed the tot last August and recently revealed that he was 'unexpected.' Posing for a selfie, Hailey looked stunning in a plunging red top and minimal makeup while enjoying the sun. Another photo showed her relaxing with a face mask on during her skincare routine, while others gave an insight into her recent work. Hailey captioned her Instagram update: 'Summer things part I.' Hailey recently revealed what her husband Justin is really like as a father and admitted she 'struggled to accept' her surprise pregnancy. The Rhode founder and the pop star, 31, welcomed their first child together, a baby boy called Jack, in August 2024. But the couple have been plagued by rumours of marriage trouble in recent months, with the singer sparking concerns among fans with his behaviour. While Hailey had been seen in public without her wedding ring last month, the couple appeared to be on affectionate terms when they were seen earlier this month in Switzerland. And speaking to Vogue Italia as their August 2025 cover girl, Hailey appeared to quash the rumours of a rift as she gushed over Justin being an 'extraordinary' father, 'a natural', and 'seeing her as a goddess, a superhero'. Hailey also opened up about her pregnancy with Jack, revealing it was unexpected. 'The pregnancy was hard for me to accept, it was a surprise and you have to deal with so many emotions,' she told the outlet. 'You realise that your life will never be the same again, yes, it changes in a positive way, but it will never be the same again. It was a huge challenge for me, mentally,' she added. Despite this, Hailey said that everything ends up coming together eventually and it acted as a huge teaching lesson for her as a person - and her marriage. 'Suddenly, your partner sees you as a goddess, a superhero... Or at least, that's how it was for me,' she said. Justin's bad behaviour has manifested in recent months in the form of arguing with Hailey online, acting erratically and clashing with paparazzi, a source told Page Six. The material on the latest album, which Justin released July 11, included a trio of comedy skits with comic Druski. One of the bits dubbed 'Therapy session,' in which Druski portrays a counsellor, Justin touches on the complications of living life in the limelight. 'That's been a tough thing for me recently - feeling like I have had to go through a lot of my struggles as a human, as all of us do, really publicly. 'And so people are always asking if I'm OK - and that starts to really weigh on me.' Justin said that the attention makes him feel like he's 'the one with the issues and everyone else is perfect.' The singer sold rights to his catalogue for $200million in 2023, the Los Angeles Times reported recently. His most recent studio album prior to Swag was Justice in 2021. The album garnered critical acclaim and spawned successful commercial tracks such as Peaches, a Billboard Hot 200 chart-topper; and the top 10 hits Holy, Anyone and Ghost. In February 2023, Justin officially cancelled the remainder of his Justice World Tour after the singer said he was diagnosed with the condition Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which can lead to facial paralysis.

Trump gushes over controversial Sydney Sweeney jeans ad – after hearing she's a registered Republican
Donald Trump has heaped praise on Sydney Sweeney 's provocative new jeans advert after being told the actress was a registered Republican. While speaking to reporters on the runway in Allentown, Pennsylvania, on Sunday evening, the president was informed about the Euphoria actress's reported political leanings. 'She's a registered Republican?' the president asked. 'Now I love her ad.' Earlier Sunday, public voting records reviewed by The Guardian revealed that Sweeney, 27, has been registered with the Republican Party in Florida since June 2024. She has neither endorsed nor supported Trump publicly. 'Is that right? Is Sydney Sweeney...,' Trump continued with a smirk. 'You'd be surprised how many people are Republicans. That's one I wouldn't have known, but I'm glad you told me that.' 'If Sydney Sweeney is a registered Republican, I think her ad is fantastic,' the president concluded. Trump joined a chorus of MAGA voices praising the actress's participation in American Eagle 's recent advert, Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans. The commercial has sparked widespread backlash with some critics claiming it peddles eugenic ideals through its wordplay on 'jeans' and 'genes.' Critics say the two phrases echo the sentiments of the discredited racist belief once popularized by the Nazis that the human race can be improved genetically by selective breeding. 'Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color,' Sweeney said in one spot. 'My jeans are blue,' she added, punctuated by the narrator declaring: 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans.' Another clip showed the blue-eyed, blond-haired movie star suggestively staring at the camera as she explains that her body's composition 'is determined by... genes'. ''Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans' is and always was about the jeans,' the company said in a statement responding to the backlash. 'Her jeans. Her story. 'We'll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way,' the statement continued. 'Great jeans look good on everyone.' The White House and several conservative firebrands also came to Sweeney's defense, with Trump's Communications Director Steven Cheung calling the negative reaction to the advert 'cancel culture run amok.' 'This warped, moronic and dense liberal thinking is a big reason why Americans voted the way they did in 2024. They're tired of this bulls***,' he added. Vice President JD Vance chimed in on the debate, hailing Sweeney as an 'all-American beautiful woman.' Texas Senator Ted Cruz condemned the 'crazy Left' for attacking a 'beautiful woman.' Congressman Eric Swalwell was among Democrats and X users taunting Cruz, calling him 'Thirsty Ted.' Fox News spent over 85 minutes across at least 20 segments through Thursday afternoon discussing the commercial and the discourse surrounding it, according to a study by liberal media watchdog Media Matters for America.
