More Details on Hulk Hogan's Death Revealed
Rana Atef On Friday, new medical reports revealed further details about the death of global wrestling legend and reality TV star Hulk Hogan, who passed away last week at the age of 71. According to documents reviewed by the Los Angeles Times, Hogan died from an acute myocardial infarction (heart attack). The Clearwater Police Department in Florida confirmed it had responded to a cardiac arrest call on the morning of July 24, after which Hogan was transported to the hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. The report also noted that Hogan had been suffering from atrial fibrillation as well as chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)—a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow. Authorities confirmed he had received formal approval for cremation. Hogan rose to superstardom in the 1980s after signing with WWE, becoming not just a wrestling icon but a pop culture phenomenon. His legacy extended to film and television, with notable appearances in The A-Team, Walker, Texas Ranger, and his hit reality series Hogan Knows Best. In later years, Hogan became a political figure, emerging as a vocal supporter of the US President Donald Trump. He delivered a headline-making speech at the 2024 Republican National Convention. Trump mourned the loss on his social media platform, writing: 'Today we lost a great friend... The Hulkster was strong, brave, and brilliant—but also had a big heart. His cultural impact will remain immense.' WWE, US Vice President J.D. Vance, and several veteran wrestlers also paid tribute. Hogan's children, Nick and Brooke, shared heartfelt messages. Nick called him 'the best father and friend in the world,' while Brooke wrote, 'My bond with my father never broke—even in his final moments. He believed meeting God would be the greatest championship of all.' read more Japan Stun Spain 2-1 to Qualify for World Cup Last 16 World Cup 2022: Get to Know Confirmed Line-ups of Japan and Spain Group E Decider Saudi Arabia Bid Farewell to World Cup after 2-1 Loss to Mexico Tunisia Achieve Historic Win over France but Fail to Qualify Tunisia to Clash against France in World Cup Sports Get to Know Squad of Group D Teams in World Cup Sports Al Ahly Gift EGP 70,000 to Players After Claiming Egyptian Super Cup Title Sports Bencharki Hits First 2 Goals with Al Jazira Since Leaving Zamalek Sports Arsenal Possible Line-up for Nottingham Forest News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results

'Pharaohs' Treasures' will be the second largest Egyptian exhibition ever held in Italy, featuring 130 carefully selected artifacts from the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir and the Museum of Art in Luxor. The display will explore themes including kingship, the royal court, religious beliefs, daily life, funerary rituals, and the afterlife. The exhibition will run until May 2026, offering Italian and international visitors an extended opportunity to experience the grandeur of ancient Egypt.
