Wrestling icon Hulk Hogan, born Terry Gene Bollea, died at the age of 71 on Thursday, July 24, 2025, after suffering a cardiac arrest at his home in Clearwater, Florida, according to multiple reports. Emergency services were dispatched early that morning following a 911 call, with medics and police responding to the scene. Hogan was reportedly taken away on a stretcher, but efforts to save him were unsuccessful.
Hogan, a WWE Hall of Famer, transformed professional wrestling into a global phenomenon, popularizing “Hulkamania” in the 1980s with his larger-than-life persona. His career highlights include winning the WWF Heavyweight Championship in 1984 and starring in films like Rocky III and the reality show Hogan Knows Best.
Just weeks prior, his wife, Sky Daily, had denied rumors of severe health issues, stating his heart was “strong” following recent surgeries.
Hogan leaves behind his wife, Sky, children Brooke and Nick, and grandchildren Oliver and Molly. Fans and the wrestling community mourn the loss of a true icon whose legacy reshaped the industry.
