Professional WWE wrestler and 90s pop culture icon Hulk Hogan’s death last week was caused by a heart attack, according to a Florida medical examiner’s report. 

Hogan, 71, whose real name was Terry Bollea, previously had leukemia and atrial fibrillation, an irregular heart rhythm, the report from the District Six Medical Examiner said.

To honour the “Hulkster,” US Gov. Ron DeSantis has said that flags will be flown at half-staff at all official buildings today, which he declared “Hulk Hogan Day in Florida.”

“He was a true Floridian through and through,” the Republican governor wrote in a memo Thursday.

Hogan was pronounced dead at a hospital less than 90 minutes after medics arrived at his home in Clearwater to answer a call about a cardiac arrest on the morning of 24 July, police said. The report said the cause of death was “natural.”

“He had been dealing with some health issues, but I truly believed we would overcome them,” Hogan’s wife Sky Daily posted on Instagram.

“This loss is sudden and impossible to process,” she added. “To the world, he was a legend… but to me, he was my Terry.”

Hogan’s daughter Brooke Bollea Oleksy, better known by her stage name Brooke Hogan, memorialized her father in a recent social media post.

“I am so grateful I knew the real version of him. Not just the one the world viewed through a carefully curated lens,” she wrote on Instagram.

Funeral plans have not yet been publicly announced.

Hogan had appeared in numerous movies and television shows, including his own reality series, and in 2024 endorsed Donald Trump’s presidential bid.
