Hulk was transported from his mega mansion around 11 am, this morning to Morton Plant Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The World Wrestling Entertainment superstar, whose real name is Terry Gene Bollea, purchased the stunning property in 2012 for $3.3 million.
Hulk also purchased the property next door, which features a much smaller house, for $1.6 million in 2016.
The properties combined are now worth an estimated $11.5 million according to Refin estimates.
Hulk’s picturesque home features five bedrooms, six bathrooms and boasts water views on both sides of the property.
The main home spans nbearly 5,500 square feet, with a fireplace, a wine cellar and a massive terrace.
Each suite has its own bathroom and balcony, and the windows and doors are hurricane-resistant, standing up to 130 mph gusts of wind, a seriously needed feature for a home on the water in Florida.
Clearwater Police informed The U.S. Sun that first responders were dispatched to Hulk Hogan’s home following a report of cardiac arrest.
Hogan received treatment at his residence before being transported to Morton Plant Hospital, as detailed in a police report. According to TMZ, who first broke the news, the WWE Hall of Famer was wheeled out of his home on a stretcher and loaded into an ambulance.
He was pronounced dead at the hospital, though an official cause of death has not yet been disclosed.

“One of pop culture’s most recognizable figures, Hogan helped WWE achieve global recognition in the 1980s.
“WWE extends its condolences to Hogan’s family, friends, and fans.”

However, his wife, Sky Daily, 46, quickly dismissed the claims, reassuring fans that his heart was “strong” and that he was recovering from a neck procedure.
Just days before his passing, Jimmy Hart, Hogan’s former long-time manager, updated fans on his health, posting on X: “Hulk is doing great, doing phenomenal! Last night at karaoke with Nick was absolutely fantastic, baby!!!” referring to Hogan’s son.
