Hulk Hogan’s cause of death believed to be cardiac arrest

While no official cause of death has been revealed, sources tell TMZ that the 911 call from Hogan’s residence mentioned “cardiac arrest.”

Police cars and ambulances were reportedly parked outside of Hogan’s home for several hours before he was eventually wheeled out on a stretcher.

Hogan’s death comes just weeks after a former friend alleged that the wrestler’s health had taken a sharp downturn.

During a recent podcast interview, the radio personality known as Bubba the Love Sponge claimed that he had received “reliable” information indicating that Hogan was on his deathbed.

“I got some pretty reliable information last night that there are phone calls being made to various family members about getting to town to say their goodbyes,” Bubba remarked.

The former DJ conceded that he was no longer close with his former friend due to his alleged role in leaking Hogan’s sex tape.

Asked about his sources, Bubba described them as “pretty damn reliable” and stated that he had last been in contact with the informant less than a week prior.

“Hogan is in a hospital, and I’ve heard people say that he might not make it,” the insider allegedly remarked.
