He was then transported on a stretcher to an ambulance and taken to Morton Plant Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The Clearwater Police stated in a press conference on Thursday afternoon that an investigation into Hulk Hogan's death is currently underway because it’s “standard” procedure, clarifying that “there is no foul play and no suspicious activity being investigated at this time.”

"The world lost a treasure today. Hulk Hogan was the greatest WWE Superstar of ALL TIME, someone who was loved and admired around the world. He was a trailblazer, the first performer who transitioned from being a wrestling star into a global phenomenon." He added, "His grit and unbridled thirst for success were unparalleled - and made him the consummate performer. He gave everything he had to the audience whom he appreciated, respected and loved."

He concluded,

"He leaves us with one of his favorite expressions, "Train, take your vitamins and say your prayers." Today, we pray for him."
