Hulk Hogan Fights for His Life as EMT Performs Chest Compressions on Wrestler Before Shocking Death: Watch

Hulk Hogan was fighting for his life seconds before it was taken from him.

A new video released on Thursday, July 24, shows the late wrestler being wheeled away from his home in an ambulance to Morton Plant Hospital in Florida.

Doctors carried the star out on a stretcher and aggressively performed chest compressions to try and save him.

His death by cardiac arrest was confirmed this morning. He was 71.

As previously reported by RadarOnline.com, Clearwater Fire Department and Clearwater Police Department personnel answered a medical call at 9:51 a.m. in the 1000 block of Eldorado Avenue on Clearwater Beach.

"A 71-year-old resident, Terry Bollea, also known as Hulk Hogan, was treated by Clearwater Fire & Rescue crews before being taken by Sunstar to Morton Plant Hospital, where he was pronounced deceased," a statement read.

The athlete’s Real America Freestyle business partner, Eric Bischoff, also confirmed his death.

President Donald Trump reacted to the news in a Truth Social post on Thursday afternoon.

"We lost a great friend today, the 'Hulkster.' Hulk Hogan was MAGA all the way — Strong, tough, smart, but with the biggest heart," he wrote. "He gave an absolutely electric speech at the Republican National Convention, that was one of the highlights of the entire week. He entertained fans from all over the World, and the cultural impact he had was massive. To his wife, Sky, and family, we give our warmest best wishes and love. Hulk Hogan will be greatly missed!"

Hogan’s final Instagram post was a photo of him flexing on a beach towel, donned in a white tank top that read, "Hulk rules." The social media share was in collaboration with Real American Beer, captioned, "Beach day sponsored by brotherhood."

Hogan sparked health concerns in June when he was hospitalized for complications following a neck surgery he underwent in May. A representative claimed he required a "little fusion procedure" to make him "feel a little better."

The wrestler has received 25 surgeries in the past 10 years alone after suffering grueling injuries in the ring.

"Nobody told me this gimmick stuff was fake. I’ve had 10 back surgeries, both knees and both hips replaced, shoulders — everything," he spilled on the "IMPAULSIVE" podcast with Logan Paul.

In 2023, Hogan confessed to a "vicious cycle" of relying on prescription pain medications, like a "dog chasing a bone."

"I had doctors writing me prescription after prescription," he spilled. "I was hitting the pain pills hard because I’d had to endure twenty-five procedures."

Years before his shocking death, Hogan almost took his own life due to a battle with depression.

"A gun was in my hand and my finger was on the trigger and I was thinking, It would just be so easy," he wrote in his 2009 memoir, My Life Outside the Ring.
