Hulk Hogan's worrying health issue in final weeks as WWE star dies suddenly

Hulk Hogan 'got tired easily' in his final weeks as a close friend detailed the WWE icon's health before his death aged 71. The professional wrestler is believed to have suffered a cardiac arrest at his Florida home. It has been reported medics were called to Hulk's home in Clearwater, Florida early on Thursday morning, it's understood operators stated it was a "cardiac arrest"

The sad news comes just a few weeks after his wife, Sky, had to deny rumours he was in a coma. The legendary grappler was facing health issues in recent weeks after undergoing numerous surgeries. We reported earlier this week that he was "unable to speak" and was being monitored at home by medical staff after having a bad reaction to surgery.

Hulk, who was hospitalised last month, was reportedly transported from home from the hospital after suffering a reaction to cervical surgery. His ex-manager and long-time friend, Jimmy Hart, has said that the WWE Hall of Famer was unable to talk.

And now, a source close to the wrestler claimed Hulk knew he was struggling with a 'weak heart' in his final weeks. The Mirror reached out to the late star's reps for comment.

The source said to MailOnline: "He was suffering from shortness of breath, got tired easily, had lost a lot of weight and was on oxygen."

Hulk, real name Terry Bollea, reportedly spent his final weeks making up with estranged friends and family members, with the source claiming he "didn't want to leave anything unsaid."

The star, who was the WWE's biggest star during the late 80s and early 90s, recently sparked concern among fans when appeared on tv to promote his new business ventures, with viewers taking to social media to say he looked “unwell.”

In May, a representative for Hogan told US media that he had undergone a “little fusion procedure” on his neck and was recovering quickly. His last known public appearance was a photo opportunity with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis later that month.

Last month, ex-pal Bubba The Love Sponge claimed Hogan was on his deathbed and that family members had been called in to say their final goodbyes. However, the claims were later denied by a spokesman for the legendary wrestler.

Just weeks before his death, the representative for the WWE icon denied speculation he was gravely after it was announced he had undergone a small "fusion procedure" on his neck.

The YouTuber claimed that things were "not looking good" for him. Denying the speculation, a representative said that Hulk's surgery had been "successful" and there were "no reasons to panic."

They added: "He just needs from time to time a medical check up."
