The long-awaited death certificate for wrestling legend Hulk Hogan was obtained by TMZ Sports and validated against public records, and it reads like a mini biography packed into one legal sheet. The document lists Terry Gene Bollea—better known as Hulk Hogan—as a “professional wrestler” under the entertainment industry heading. It also confirms his date of birth (August 11, 1953) and place of birth (Augusta, Georgia), plus his date and place of death (July 24, 2025, Clearwater, Florida).
Paramedics raced to Hogan’s Clearwater home at 9:51 AM on July 24 after a 911 call reporting “cardiac arrest.” Despite efforts in the ER, Hogan was pronounced dead just after 11 AM. His official cause of death is listed as a heart attack, but the certificate records a history of atrial fibrillation—an irregular heartbeat—and notes a CLL cancer diagnosis, though that entry is frustratingly vague on specifics.
The paperwork doesn’t stop at medical facts. It even includes his educational level (high school graduate), marital status (widowed), his widow’s name (Linda Bollea), and his parents’ names (Peter Bollea Sr. and Ruth V. Bollea). Sources say those details came straight from county records, so there’s no spin here—just a cold, hard look at the man who once body-slammed giants in the ring.
Another striking entry: “Disposition of remains – cremated.” Hogan’s final farewell took place in Clearwater, FL, where a private ceremony reportedly included only immediate family. Millions of fans have expressed grief online; celebrities from every corner of Hollywood chimed in, and even former President Donald Trump issued condolences via social media.
WWE paid tribute to its icon in several ways. At Monday night’s Raw event, his son Nick Bollea was on hand for a somber moment of silence and a video montage celebrating his dad’s greatest matches. Wrestlers past and present wore armbands and shared stories backstage, proving that Hogan’s legacy is still as electrifying as his signature leg drop.
Seeing Hogan’s life reduced to typed entries on a certificate feels surreal, but it reminds us that behind the bravado was a real person with health battles and a loving family. This document closes one chapter on a storied career yet opens questions about how we commemorate larger-than-life figures. Stay tuned—there’s plenty more ring talk and record revelations to come.
Okay, I need to calm down after that!
