Legendary WWE wrestler Hulk Hogan has passed away at the age of 71.
According to TMZ, paramedics rushed to Hogan’s home after suffering a cardiac arrest.
“Medics were dispatched to the 71-year-old WWE legend’s Clearwater, Florida home early Thursday morning … with operators stating it was regarding a “cardiac arrest.”‘
We’re told a slew of police cars and EMTs were parked outside Hogan’s home … and the icon was carried on a stretcher and into an ambulance.
Just a few weeks ago, rumors began circulating that Hogan was having health issues due to back surgery.
Hogan’s longtime pro wrestling manager Jimmy Hart attempted to squash the rumors and claimed Hulk was “doing fantastic.”
Hulk is doing great, doing phenomenal! Last night at karaoke with Nick was absolutely fantastic, baby!!!"
