Hulk Hogan’s – In a newly released 72-page Clearwater Police report, Hogan’s home nurses and occupational therapist Justin McCamey describe Hulk Hogan as being in “rough” condition during the medical emergency that led to his death at age 71 on July 24 in Clearwater, Florida
Hulk Hogan’s last morning didn’t start with a dramatic warning sign—it started with nurses describing a man already in trouble.
Home nurses told police the WWE legend was in “rough” shape during his medical emergency before he was rushed out of his Clearwater. Florida home and taken to a nearby hospital. The Clearwater Police Department has now released a 72-page police report documenting the situation after it officially concluded the investigation this week. detailing what caregivers. medical records. and inside-the-home surveillance showed.
The report also includes testimony from Hogan’s occupational therapist, Justin McCamey, who laid out what he told a responding officer. In his statement, McCamey said, “He is in rough shape. We knew this was gonna be happening.”
As first responders arrived that day, Hogan—born Terry Gene Bollea—was ultimately pronounced dead at the hospital. Police say the death has been determined to be an attended natural death. Investigators reached that conclusion after interviewing caregivers. reviewing medical records. and examining surveillance footage from inside the home before closing the case.
The report describes how Hogan was still interacting with the world for a time. It says he was “a little mumbly” the morning he was transported. but he still went to the bathroom. was talking. and ate yogurt and berries. Not long after, McCamey went to check on his vitals and realized Hogan had stopped breathing.
Hogan died at age 71 on July 24 after suffering cardiac arrest at his Clearwater, Florida home. First responders rushed him to a nearby hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
Police also note that the official cause of death was a heart attack. Medical records later revealed Hogan had also been battling chronic lymphocytic leukemia. a form of blood cancer. as well as atrial fibrillation. an irregular heart rhythm condition. Neither illness had been publicly disclosed before his death.
For wrestling fans, Hogan wasn’t just a star—he helped reshape the industry itself. After beating The Iron Sheik for the World Heavyweight Championship in 1984. Hogan launched “Hulkamania. ” a pop culture phenomenon that turned him into one of the biggest names on the planet. with generations of fans copying his signature bandana. handlebar mustache. and larger-than-life persona.
With police now closing the investigation and the report made public, the timeline of that final emergency is clearer nearly a year after the Hulkster’s death—bringing a measure of closure to the questions that followed the announcement back on July 24.
