Hulk Hogan passed away in July 2025 after a neck surgery, but it wasn’t the first time the late professional wrestler had been hospitalized. The WWE legend’s death at the age of 71 came after he spoke out about numerous health issues he had to endure. What exactly happened to Hogan before his death?
Find out about Hogan’s health problems and what led to his death below.
Although the exact cause of Hogan’s death was not determined, TMZ reported that he died from cardiac arrest. Paramedics arrived at Hogan’s home in Clearwater, Florida on July 24, 2025 in response to a call about cardiac arrest.
Less than a year before his death, Hogan revealed that he had undergone multiple surgeries on his back, knees, hips, and shoulders. In October 2024, during an appearance on Logan Paul’s «Impaulsive» podcast, Hogan said that over the last decade of his life, he had undergone at least 25 different surgeries.
«No one told me these tricks were fake», - Hogan said. «I've had 10 back surgeries, both knees replaced, both hips replaced, shoulders — everything».
It turns out his back surgeries were not beneficial, as Hogan sued the Laser Spine Institute in Florida for $ 50 million in January 2013. The «Rocky III» star claimed that his back treatment was ineffective.
A month before his death, Hogan was hospitalized due to ongoing back and neck problems, TMZ reports. At that time, radio host Bubba the Love Sponge started a rumor claiming that Hogan was on the brink of death and that his loved ones were saying goodbye to him. However, the rumor was quickly debunked by Hogan’s widow, Sky Daily, who stated that her husband was feeling «strong» and recovering from surgeries, according to TMZ.
The news came after he underwent neck surgery in May 2025. At that time, the athlete and «Rocky III» star’s representative told TMZ Sports that he was quickly recovering. The representative added that he needed a «minor fixation procedure», - but nothing serious.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Hogan’s net worth was $ 25 million by 2025
