WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan dies at 71 | AP News

CLEARWATER, Fla. (AP) Hulk Hogan, the mustachioed, headscarf-wearing, bicep-busting icon of professional wrestling who turned the sport into a massive business and stretched his influence into TV, pop culture and conservative politics during a long and scandal-plagued second act, died Thursday in Florida at age 71.

Hogan was pronounced dead at a hospital less than 90 minutes after medics in Clearwater arrived at his home to answer a morning call about a cardiac arrest, police said.

There were no signs of foul play or suspicious activity, Maj. Nate Burnside told reporters.

Among other accomplishments was his role as the proximate cause of the destruction of the loathsome Gawker, with a little help from Peter Theil. I assume he’ll have some explaining to do before the highest court, but he can count that in his favor.
