Professional wrestling favorite Hulk Hogan’s cause of death has been confirmed to be acute myocardial infarction, commonly known as heart attack.

Hogan, whose registered real name was Terrence Gene Bollea, died on July 24 in Florida at age 71.

The professional wrestler who became a household name in the 1980’s, was the most popular in his sport.

He is survived by his wife Sky Daily and ex-wives Linda Hogan and Jennifer McDaniel. He had two children Brooke and NIck Hogan.

Medical records from the Pinellas County Forensic Science Center indicated that Hogan succumbed to myocardial infarction or the blocking of blood flow to a person’s heart.

Hogan’s remains have been cremated as indicated in his last will.

The World Wrestling Entertainment superstar’s medical history included atrial fibrillation and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), which is a form of cancer that affects the blood and the bone marrow.

“he had been dealing with some health issues, but I truly believed we would overcome them. I had so much faith in his strength,” wrote Sky in her social media posts. “I though we still had more time.”

“This loss is sudden and impossible to process. To the world, he was a legend… but to me, he was myTerry. The man I loved. My partner, My heart,” she said.

Hulk Hogan started his fruitful wrestling career in 1977. From there, he became widely known and was credited for making professional wrestling as a sport very popular in the 1980’s.

He also dabbled into acting and at times singing.

The World Wrestling Entertainment achieved local recognition as a result of Hogan’s international fame.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and a number of Hogan’s fellow celebrities mourned his death.

The Rock considered him a “childhood hero” to millions of children .

According to Johnson he was ecstatic when Hogan gifted him a headband as a kid in 1984.

“You were shocked and so happy after the match because you tol me that was your very last headband and if weren’t for me, you’d have no way of getting that exact one made again,” The Rock wrote.

Former WWE chairman and CEO Vince McMahon said: “The world lost a treasure today.”

Mark William Calaway, known as The Undertaker, wrote on XZ: “The wrestling world has lost a true legend. His contributions to oour business are immeasurable and for that I am appreciative. Thank you, Hulk Hogan.”
