Hulk Hogan had faced a slew of health issues and suffered from a “weak heart” in the lead-up to his d3ath at age 71, according to a report.
The wrestling icon, whose real name was Terry Gene Bollea, di3d Thursday morning as reports suggested he suffered a cardiac arrest at his Clearwater, Fla. home.
“He was suffering from shortness of breath, got tired easily, had lost a lot of weight and was on oxygen as his life ebbed away at his mansion in Clearwater, Florida,” an insider alleged to the Daily Mail.

Still, the source said that the mustachioed marvel’s final weeks also featured happy moments, too.
“He had a lot of scores to settle. Didn’t want to leave anything unsaid,” the insider said, adding that Hogan spent time trying to mend bridges with estranged loved ones — including his estranged daughter Brooke.
The outlet reported that Hogan had hoped that the two would reconcile as the pair last spoke two weeks before his wedding to Sky Daily in 2023.
While an official cause of d3ath is yet to be revealed, officials confirmed foul play was not suspected.

Emergency officials received an initial 911 call at 10 a.m. for a cardiac arrest, according to audio obtained by TMZ.
The wrestling great was taken to a nearby hospital, but he di3d around 11:17 a.m.
“[Hogan] was experiencing a serious medical related issue,” the Clearwater Police Department told reporters on Thursday.
Hogan has undergone 25 surgeries and had health problems from steroid use and the repeated injuries he sustained during his 40 years in the ring.

The wrestler’s d3ath has sparked mass speculation over his health, with some people claiming Hogan was even paralyzed in a coma — a claim some insiders have rejected.
“Allegedly Hogan is in the hospital and I’ve heard people say that he might not make it,” Hogan’s former pal, Todd Clem, said last month on his widely listened to Florida radio program, “The Bubba the Love Sponge Show.”
Clem – who asked Hogan to be the best man in his wedding before the wrestler slept with his wife – said his information came from a “pretty damn reliable” source.
The Hulkster’s reps denied the health claims, with Daily explaining that he’d only undergone neck surgery in May and was quickly recovering.
On May 1, he appeared in a sit-down interview on Fox News’ “Fox & Friends” where he showed off a dramatic throwback two-tone beard, coupled with his trademark snow white handlebar mustache.
Later that month, Hogan was seen meeting up with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) at Clearwater Beach.

“Great to see the Hulkster and throw back a cold @RealAmerBeer in Clearwater Beach @HogansHangout,” DeSantis wrote on X alongside a photo of the pair holding up cans of Hogan’s Real American Beer.
And just two days before his d3ath, Hogan’s longtime manager and friend, Jimmy Hart, provided a positive update that refuted other claims.
“Hulk is doing great, doing phenomenal! Last night at karaoke with Nick was absolutely fantastic, baby!!!” Hart posted Tuesday on X in response to an ominous report on “Bubba The Love Sponge show.”
