The Clearwater Police Department has issued an official statement on Hulk Hogan’s death, noting that he was discovered experiencing a “serious medical-related issue.”
Major Nate Burnside of the Clearwater PD made some brief remarks in a televised press availability on Thursday afternoon. He did not take questions from the media.
He stated:
Just before 10 a.m. today, Clearwater Fire and Rescue, along with the Clearwater Police Department, responded to a house in the 1000 block of El Dorado Avenue for a medical-related call.
It was discovered at that time that Terry Bollea, also known as Hulk Hogan, was experiencing a serious medical-related issue. Personnel provided medical treatment at that time and transported Mr. Bollea to Morton Plant Hospital, where he died at 11.17 a.m.
The Clearwater Police Department is conducting a death investigation, which is standard in these types of cases. There are no signs of foul play or suspicious activity related to this call for service at this time.
Our personnel is providing the family with the necessary resources. I’m strongly encouraging everyone to keep the family in their thoughts and respect their privacy during this difficult time. We will not be answering any questions, but we will provide additional information when it becomes available.
Any public records requests should be filed through our public records section with the Colorado Police Department. No records will be released today. Our thoughts are with the family. And again, we ask everyone to respect their privacy during this difficult time. Thank you.
