Hulk Hogan's cause of death revealed as acute myocardial infarction - commonly known as a heart attack
Hulk Hogan's official cause of death has been revealed. Page Six can exclusively confirm that the pro wrestling legend died from acute myocardial infarction — commonly known as a heart attack — which is when blood flow to the heart muscle is suddenly blocked, causing tissue damage, per the Pinellas County Forensic Science Center. The document obtained by Page Six also shows Hogan had a history of atrial fibrillation (AFib), which is a heart condition characterized by an irregular and often rapid heart rate. Per the District Six Medical Examiner's record, the former WWE superstar also had a history of leukemia CLL, a type of cancer that affects white blood cells called lymphocytes. It does not appear that it was public knowledge that Hogan, born Terry Bollea, had ever battled cancer. His manner of death was ruled natural. The Pinellas County Forensic Science Center provided the latest updates in a cremation summary approval report. A spokesperson for the medical examiner's office tells Page Six, 'I am not aware when Mr. Bollea will be cremated, only that we received a request for cremation approval.' On July 24, Hogan went into cardiac arrest at his home in Clearwater, Fla., and was transported via ambulance to Morton Plant Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. He was 71. 'Unfortunately, we must confirm that Terry Bollea, aka Hulk Hogan, passed away this morning,' his reps told Page Six at the time. 'We are heartbroken. He was such a great human being and friend.' Hogan's death came after weeks of speculation that his health was poor after he underwent a delicate neck surgery in May. However, his wife, Sky Daily, tried to quiet the noise, reportedly writing via social media on July 12, 'No, he's definitely not in a coma! His heart is strong, and there was never any lack of oxygen or brain damage. None of those rumors are true.' She then explained that Hogan had been 'recovering from a major four-level Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusin (ACDF), which is an intense surgery with a long and layered healing process.' The fitness trainer concluded at the time, 'He's healing and we're taking it one day at a time with love, strength, and patience.' Hogan's manager, Jimmy Hart, added via X on June 22, days before the wrestler died, 'Hulk is doing great, doing phenomenal! Last night at karaoke with Nick [Hogan] was absolutely fantastic, baby!!!' Since Hogan's passing, his loved ones have issued public statements over the devastating loss. Daily, 46, wrote via Instagram on July 25 that her heart was 'in pieces,' adding, 'This loss is sudden and impossible to process.' Hogan's son, Nick Hogan, also paid a tribute to his 'best friend' via Instagram and wrote in part alongside a carousel of throwback photos, 'This has been overwhelming and extremely difficult.' The 'Hogan Knows Best' alum was also present for the WWE's televised memorial during 'Monday Night Raw,' and was seen visibly moved by the occassion. Hulk's daughter, Brooke Hogan, who was estranged from her famous dad in recent years, insisted via social media that despite any fallouts, their bond 'has never broken.' 'When he left this earth, it felt like part of my spirit left with him. I felt it before the news even reached us,' she added in the lengthy Instagram post. 'I'm deeply grateful for the love, tributes, and memorials from his fans and friends. His life was one worth celebrating — and always will be.' It was then revealed that Brooke, 37, had asked to be removed from her father's will. Brooke and Nick's mother, Linda Hogan — who was married to Hulk from 1983 to 2009 — admitted in her tribute that she was still in love with her ex-husband and that it was 'so hard' to know he was gone.

Brooke Hogan Turned Her Back on Hulk Hogan's $25M Fortune Before His Death: Report
Brooke Hogan and Hulk Hogan (Image Source: Getty) Brooke Hogan , daughter of WWE icon Hulk Hogan (real name Terry Gene Bollea), was said to have removed herself both from her father and his $25 million estate before his death last July 24, 2025. In 2023, sources said Brooke asked to be taken out of her father's will due to mistrust over the people managing his life and a desire to avoid a "legal mess" in the future, along with more bad blood within the family. Nonetheless, she is still set to inherit from a life‑insurance trust, the proceeds of which are intended for her children's education. Brooke Hogan's relationship with her father and decision to distance herself Hulk Hogan hadn't been in touch with daughter Brooke, who is currently 37 years old, for many years. She and brother Nick appeared in the reality TV franchise 'Hogan Knows Best' before their bond with dad fell apart around 2023. Brooke allegedly requested to be taken out of the will at that time, stating that she "didn't trust a single person around" him and wanted to shield herself and her dad from the fallout. However, she will get cash using a life‑insurance trust that she says will cover her twins' college expenses. Brooke previously referred to his soul in a lengthy Instagram tribute put together after her father's death, saying that their relationship "spans lifetimes" and that they were "fit together like puzzle pieces." She remembered being his 'life raft' and how she would check on his health, meager as it was, during the surgery and personal tragedies that ensued. But then her dynamic with him changed, and 'needed to do what was best for me, which, at the time, was to step away to protect my heart. ' Brooke Hogan calls out WWE for 'not extending invite' to tributes honoring late dad Hulk Hogan Brooke Hogan also made news when she deflected heat for not being present at WWE tribute events after her father died. Hulk Hogan was honored by WWE during live WWE Friday Night SmackDown and WWE Monday Night Raw broadcasts. Brooke was absent while her brother Nick was there, and she wrote in an Instagram Story on July 30 that '@WWE did not ask,' explaining that she faced criticism for not doing the tributes. Also Read: Who are Brooke and Nick Hogan? All about Hulk Hogan's kids She said her family relationships became distant not because of one public event but because of personal and emotional conversations. She insisted that the distance was not easy, but she had loved him courageously, and done everything she could to try to be better for him, but knew that stepping away from it all was the only way she could salvage her mind and heart.

Brooke Hogan Breaks Silence on Death of Her Father Hulk Hogan
Brooke Hogan Breaks Silence on Death of Her Father Hulk Hogan originally appeared on Parade. Brooke Hogan is speaking out following the death of her estranged father Hulk Hogan on Thursday, July 24 at the age of 71. "My dad's blood runs through my veins," Brooke wrote via Instagram on Tuesday, July 29. "His eyes shine through my children. And our bond has never broken, not even in his final moments. We had a connection deeper than words, one that spanned lifetimes. I am so grateful that I knew the real version of him. Not just the one the world viewed through a carefully curated lens. We shared a quiet, sacred bond, one that could be seen and felt by anyone who witnessed us together." "When he left this earth, it felt like part of my spirit left with him. I felt it before the news even reached us." she continued. RELATED: Brooke also used the post as an opportunity to "clear a few things up" when it came to complicated relationship she had with her father during his final years. After Brooke and her husband, Steve Oleksy, moved to Florida to be closer to Hulk, Brooke said "all of a sudden he didn't want me at surgeries." "Everything started getting covered in a thick veil," Brooke wrote. "It was like there was a force field around him that I couldn't get through." In the last two years, Brooke explained, she had to "step away to protect my heart." "All I ever wanted from my father was love, honesty and a deep connection," Brooke explained. "And for a few special years, I had that — with memories that will last a lifetime. My world is forever changed. But I'm deeply blessed with a loving husband and two beautiful children who remind me every day of life's greatest gifts." "I'm deeply grateful for the love, tributes, and memorials from his fans and friends. His life was one worth celebrating — and always will be." she concluded. Brooke is the daughter of Hulk and Linda Hogan, who also shared a son, Nick Hogan. The family appeared together on the VH1 reality series, Hogan Knows Best, which aired from 2005 to 2007. Before Hulk's death, Brooke had reportedly cut contact with both of her parents. "Brooke doesn't talk to us," Linda said in a video posted on Instagram in March. "She's had twins. She got married, she didn't tell us." Brooke married Oleksy in 2022 and the couple welcomed twins, Oliver and Molly, in January. Brooke shared her side of the story in a lengthy Instagram post in March. "No contact with my mom has nothing to do with my dad, and no contact with my father has nothing to do with my mother," Brooke wrote at the time. "This decision was made based purely on how they have each dealt with me my entire life… I've repeatedly held my hand out to help them, only to have them pull me into the darkness with them. I've set boundaries that were not respected, and at this point, I can truly do no more."

Brooke Hogan's Bombshell Demand Rocks Hulk's $25M Estate: Report
Brooke Hogan's Bombshell Demand Rocks Hulk's $25M Estate: Report originally appeared on Parade. In a stunning move that sheds new light on the private world of a wrestling dynasty, reportedly asked to be completely removed from her father 's will in 2023, well over a year before his tragic death last week. The decision, according to TMZ, stemmed from a deep-seated distrust of the people surrounding the iconic WWE superstar. Hulk Hogan, born Terry Bollea, died at age 71 after suffering a sudden cardiac arrest at his home in Clearwater, Florida, leaving behind a legion of heartbroken fans and a significant financial estate. But his 37-year-old daughter, Brooke, had already made her choice: she wanted no part of it. According to a bombshell report, the television personality and singer took the drastic step because she feared a messy, drawn-out battle over his fortune. Sources close to the family claim Brooke didn't trust anyone in her father's inner circle and wanted to avoid becoming entangled in any financial disputes after his death. For years, Brooke's primary concern was allegedly the welfare of her famous father. Insiders said her "priority was always protecting her father from people she believed were taking advantage of him." This concern reportedly led to years of disagreements between father and daughter, as she tried to warn him about the opportunists she believed were in his orbit. Brooke ultimately made a decisive call: after years of friction over the issue, she reportedly contacted Hulk's financial manager and formally requested her exclusion from his will, a move that would sever her claim to any inheritance. Brooke, who rose to fame alongside her family on the reality show Hogan Knows Best, has not yet spoken publicly about the arrangement. The revelation, however, adds a complex and poignant layer to the legacy of the immortal Hulk Hogan. Parade has reached out to Brooke Hogan for comment.
