**Hulk Hogan Dies at 71 After Cardiac Arrest**
Wrestling legend Hulk Hogan, born Terry Gene Bollea, has died at 71 following a cardiac arrest at his Clearwater, Florida home, TMZ Sports reports.
Emergency crews arrived early Thursday morning. Witnesses saw police and EMTs at the scene as Hogan was taken away on a stretcher. He was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at the hospital.
His death shocked fans and fellow wrestlers. Although recent rumors claimed he was in a coma, his wife Sky had denied them, saying he was “doing well” and recovering from neck surgery.
Hogan rose to fame in the 1980s as WWE’s biggest star, helping turn wrestling into a global sensation. Known for his charisma, catchphrases, and signature leg drop, he became a cultural icon.
Fans now mourn a man remembered not just for wrestling, but for symbolizing “strength, showmanship, and perseverance.”
