Hulk Hogan dies

WWE superstar Hulk Hogan has died. Hogan reportedly suffered cardiac arrest, and his manager says he died at his home in Clearwater, Florida, surrounded by family.

WWE called Hogan "one of pop culture's most recognizable figures." The former wrestler had been recovering from surgeries and his wife recently denied reports he was in a coma.

Hogan was a 12-time wrestling world champion and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2005. Last year, Hogan appeared at the Republican National Convention to campaign for President Trump. He was 71.
