WWE star Hulk Hogan is confirmed to have died at the age of 71 after suffering a heart attack. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The news comes from the Pinellas County Forensic Science Center, whose records, obtained<\/a> by Page Six, confirmed that Hogan experienced acute myocardial infarction – more commonly known as a heart attack<\/a> – when he died in Florida<\/a> on July 24.<\/p>\n

Acute myocardial infarction takes place when blood flow to the heart muscle is suddenly blocked, causing tissue damage.<\/p>\n

The documents also revealed that Hogan had a history of leukemia CLL; a type of cancer which affects white blood cells called lymphocytes.<\/p>\n

Hogan was not previously publicly known to have been diagnosed with cancer<\/a>, however his daughter, Brooke Hogan, spoke in a statement<\/a> following his death about health issues he’d been experiencing in the last years of his life.<\/p>\n

Explaining that she and Hogan had never had a ‘big fight’, she added: “My father was confiding in me about issues weighing on his heart, both personal and business. I offered to be a life raft in whatever capacity he needed. I told him he had my support.<\/p>\n

“I begged him to rest, to take care of himself. He had nothing else to prove to the world or anyone. My husband and I moved down to Florida to be near him. He was getting older. I wanted to be there as much as possible. We had been though almost 25 surgeries together, and then all of a sudden he didn’t want me at surgeries… everything started getting covered in a thick veil. It was like there was a force field around him that I couldn’t get through.”<\/p>\n

Brooke explained that after she and her father began to experience disagreements, she had to ‘step away’ from the relationship with him to ‘protect [her] heart’.<\/p>\n

According to<\/a> the Mayo Clinic, leukemia CLL typically progresses more slowly than other types of leukemia, with many patients showing no symptoms at first.<\/p>\n

If symptoms to develop, they may include enlarged, but painless, lymph nodes, fatigue, fever and pain in the upper left portion of the abdomen.<\/p>\n

The disease most commonly affects older adults.<\/p>\n

Hogan’s death has been ruled as natural by the Pinellas County Forensic Science Center, which also suggested to Page Six that Hogan’s body may be cremated.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson said: \u201cI am not aware when Mr. Bollea will be cremated, only that we received a request for cremation approval.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
