It is a relatively slow-progressing form of leukemia, and symptoms include fatigue, fever, enlarged but painless lymph nodes and pain in the upper left quadrant of the abdomen.<\/p>\n The paperwork also shows that Hogan had a history of atrial fibrillation (AFib), a heart condition that causes the heart to beat irregularly or rapidly.<\/p>\n Read More<\/em>: These 13 Country Stars Are Living With Serious Chronic Illnesses<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The timeline of when Hogan was diagnosed with these issues is unclear. It’s also unclear if he was currently undergoing a cancer battle, or if he was in remission at the time of his death.<\/p>\n Documents from the Pinellas County Forensic Science Center provides the latest updates, and indicates that Hogan’s body will be cremated.<\/p>\n “I am not aware when Mr. Bollea will be cremated, only that we received a request for cremation approval,” a spokesperson for the medical examiner’s office\u00a0tells\u00a0Page Six\u00a0<\/em>in a statement.<\/p>\n Officials ruled that Hogan died of natural causes.<\/p>\n The same day that Hogan died, police held a press conference where they shared the timeline of medics’ arrival to the scene.<\/p>\n Read More<\/em>: Here’s What Police Are Saying About Hulk Hogan’s Death<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n They explained that he was suffering a “serious medical issue” when responders arrived, but didn’t offer up much information beyond that. No foul play or suspicious activity was suspected.<\/p>\n Hogan’s immediate family members issued statements, beginning with his wife Sky, whom he marred in 2023.<\/p>\n Sky acknowledged<\/a> that her wrestling legend husband was facing health issues, but still expressed shock over his death. I had so much faith in his strength. I thought we still had more time,” she wrote in her statement.<\/p>\n Hogan’s son Nick shared an emotional tribute<\/a> to the father he considered his “hero,” explaining that they’d grown even closer in recent years after Nick moved back to Florida to be near him.<\/p>\n His daughter Brooke had a more complicated relationship with the late star.
