Hogan went into cardiac arrest last Thursday and died at the age of 71.

The news of Hogan’s death came weeks after he was alleged to be having a health crisis. However, his widow, Sky Daily Hogan, denied those reports at the time, saying he was "strong" and recovering from surgeries.

She admitted in an emotional social media post that he "had been dealing with some health issues, but I truly believed we would overcome them."

"I had so much faith in his strength. I thought we still had more time," Daily Hogan wrote.

TMZ Sports first reported the news of Hogan’s passing, citing a possible "cardiac arrest" at his home in Clearwater, Florida.

The Clearwater Police Department later confirmed that emergency personnel had responded to a medical call just before 10 a.m. Hogan was treated on site for a cardiac arrest before being transported to Morton Plant Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
