Police investigating Hulk Hogan's death after 911 call released
The WWE star collapsed at his home in Florida. A medical investigation into the death of wrestling legend Hulk Hogan has been launched by police in Florida. The star, real name Terry Bollea, died in a Florida hospital on Thursday morning after paramedics rushed to his home following a 911 call. The medical team spent more than an hour battling to save his life - and now police have confirmed no foul play is suspected but they will be reviewing what happened, calling it a "standard" procedure, according to the Mirror. During a press conference on Thursday, Major Nate Burnside of the Clearwater Police Department said: "The Clearwater Police Department is conducting a medical investigation, which is standard in these types of cases. There are no signs of foul play or suspicious activity related to this call for service at this time." He also added more details about the emergency call, saying: "Just before 10 AM, Clearwater Police Department responded to a house in the 1000 block of El Dorado Avenue for a medical related call. "It was discovered at that time that Terry Bollea, also known as Hulk Hogan, was experiencing a serious medical related issue. Personnel provided medical treatment at that time and transported Mr. Bollea to Morton Plant Hospital, where he died at 11:17 AM." Shortly after the tragedy, WWE released a statement announcing the news, reading: "WWE is saddened to learn WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan has passed away. "One of pop culture's most recognisable figures, Hogan helped WWE achieve global recognition in the 1980s. WWE extends its condolences to Hogan's family, friends, and fans." In the 911 call, which was obtained by TMZ shortly after news of Hogan's death, operators could be heard dispatching paramedics to the scene as they raced to attend the star. Hogan had been reported to be in ill health since having an adverse reaction to cervical surgery on his neck in June. His former manager and long-time friend Jimmy Hart had revealed the wrestling star was unable to talk and he had been moved from his bed at Morton Plant to his home for his recuperation. In February 2023, Hogan was pictured walking with a cane and a month earlier, fellow wrestler Kurt Angle, 55, said the WWE veteran had lost all feeling in his legs after surgery. Speaking on The Kurt Angle Show, Kurt said: 'He had the nerves cut from his lower body. He can't feel his lower body. So (he) uses his cane to walk around.' He added: 'I thought he was using the cane because he had pain in his back. He doesn't have any pain. He has nothing at all. He can't feel anything.' Hogan's representative denied the claim at the time, telling Entertainment Tonight: 'Everything is OK with him. Hulk is someone with a lot of humour.' Hogan had been in and out of hospital in the months before his death. In June, he underwent a four-level Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion – a complex neck surgery. His wife, 45-year-old Sky Daily, told fans on Instagram at the time he was recovering from the 'intense surgery with a long and layered healing process'. Sky said the operation had also affected his vocal cords and required breathing and feeding tubes. Sky added: 'He's healing and we're taking it one day at a time with love, strength, and patience." Rumours had spread on social media suggesting Hogan was in a coma, which Daily denied. 'No, he's definitely not in a coma!' she said, according to PennLive. She added: 'His heart is strong, and there was never any lack of oxygen or brain damage.' Two days before Hulk's death, his longtime manager, 81-year-old Jimmy, wrote on X: 'Hulk is doing great, doing phenomenal!' Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
