Wrestling legend Hulk Hogan has died at 71 after suffering a cardiac arrest at his Clearwater, Florida home. Emergency responders rushed to the scene Thursday morning, but despite efforts to revive him, he was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.
Hogan, born Terry Gene Bollea, had faced health rumors in recent weeks, though his wife, Sky, had assured the public he was recovering well from neck surgery. His sudden death comes as a shock to fans who believed he was on the mend.
Rising to stardom in the 1980s, Hogan became the face of WWE, turning wrestling into a global phenomenon with his charisma, catchphrases, and iconic leg drop. He also found success in movies, TV, and pop culture at large.
Fans around the world are mourning the loss of a true icon — not just a wrestler, but a symbol of larger-than-life resilience and entertainment history.
