Hulk Hogan, the legendary WWE wrestler and actor has died.
He was 71
His manager Chris Volo told Sky News’ US partner network NBC Los Angeles that he died at his home in Clearwater, Florida, surrounded by family.
It was reported earlier that emergency vehicles were seen outside the property.
Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, is perhaps the most iconic star in WWE’s five-decade history – known for his distinctive blonde moustache and colourful headbands.
His charisma and theatrics in the ring are credited with helping to transform professional wrestling into a family entertainment sport.
Hogan was the main draw for the first-ever WrestleMania in 1985 and was a fixture for years in its signature event, facing everyone from Andre The Giant and Randy Savage to The Rock and even company chairman Vince McMahon.
He won six WWE championships and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2005 by Sylvester Stallone.-Sky News
