Terry Bollea, famously known as Hulk Hogan, has died at the age of 71, according to WWE. The wrestling icon passed away on Thursday in Clearwater, Florida, following a cardiac arrest. Bollea was rushed to Morton Plant Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Hogan was a defining figure in pro wrestling’s 1980s boom, known for his “24-inch pythons” and electrifying rivalries. His switch to WCW in the ‘90s and “Hollywood” heel persona changed the sport’s landscape.

WWE paid tribute to Hogan as a global icon and Hall of Famer. An investigation into his death is ongoing.
