Journalists have reported that the cause of death was “cardiac arrest,” citing the medical team that arrived at the actor’s home on Thursday morning.
For the past few months, there had been rumors that Hogan was on his deathbed — rumors his wife, Sky, repeatedly denied. According to her, these were nothing more than malicious gossip, and in reality, Hulk was simply “dealing with symptoms following neck surgery he underwent in May 2025.” However, it now appears the rumors may have held some truth.
Hulk Hogan was one of the most iconic wrestlers of all time, rising to fame in the 1980s. He won the WCW World Heavyweight Championship six times — a record that still stands. He was also inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame twice, claimed the WWF Championship six times, and enjoyed a successful career in Hollywood.
His acting journey began with a cameo in Rocky III and extended to popular projects like Robot Chicken, The A-Team, Thunder in Paradise, and many others.
