According to major media reports, Hulk Hogan, born Terry Bollea, died of a heart attack on July 24, 2025. Netflix had released a short documentary series titled 'Hulk Hogan: Real American' on April 22, and Hogan gave his interview to Netflix three months before his death.
According to Ilta-Sanomat, Hulk Hogan described starting to use steroids a couple of years after graduating high school. He claimed that all wrestlers used steroids at that time and that steroids were considered healthier than sugar. The steroid scandal in 1991 negatively affected Hogan's career, and he called it a witch hunt, according to major media reports. The scandal drove Hogan out of WWF, and he later wrestled in WCW as 'Hollywood Hogan'.

WCW went bankrupt in 2001, according to major media reports. According to Ilta-Sanomat, Hogan's first wife Linda Hogan described feeling married to Hulk Hogan, not Terry. According to Ilta-Sanomat, Hogan's son Nick Hogan described their family as never normal because their father was away from home so much. The reality TV show 'Hogan Knows Best' aired from 2005 to 2007, and according to Ilta-Sanomat, Nick Hogan described the show as the first thing they did together as a family.
The exact cause of Hogan's heart attack has not been confirmed. The public and WWE's reaction to his death, as well as the current status of his children Brooke and Nick, remain unclear. The Netflix documentary may contain other revelations beyond those reported.
