Hulk Hogan’s official death certificate went public Friday, eight days after the wrestling legend died in Florida at the age of 71.

It emerged this Thursday that he succumbed to acute myocardial infarction, which is commonly referred to as a heart attack.

Now his death certificate has also been revealed, containing details of what is to be done with the late athlete’s mortal remains.

Hogan was scheduled for cremation at the Bay Area Crematory in Clearwater, Florida, the city where he had been living at the time of his passing.

According to the death certificate acquired by TMZ, his memorial service was scheduled at the Sylvan Abbey Memorial Park and Funeral Home, situated in the same city.

The document surfaced this Thursday, revealing the same day that his cremation approval report showed Hogan had been silently combating chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), a type of cancer that impacts white blood cells referred to as lymphocytes.

Page Six obtained a cremation approval report that noted Hogan had earlier been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation, a condition characterized by a rapid and irregular heartbeat as described by the Mayo Clinic.

The wrestling legend died on July 24 in Florida, aged 71.

Hogan’s death was officially attributed to natural causes.

Page Six also noted that the Pinellas County Forensic Science Center provided updates regarding his cremation.

A spokesperson for the medical examiner’s office told the outlet: ‘I’m not aware of when Mr. Bollea will be cremated, only that we’ve received a request for cremation approval.’ 

His official cause of death follows on from claims Hogan felt ‘weak’ and ’embarrassed’ shortly before he died.

Eric Bischoff, his good friend, shared details of his last-ever meeting with Hogan. Speaking on the 83 Weeks with Eric Bischoff podcast, he explained: ‘I could tell he was weak. He sounded tired.

‘[Hogan] said, ‘I really want to see you, but I’m kind of embarrassed for you to see me this way because I’ve been pretty sick.’ When I look at you, I don’t see the same thing you see when you look in the mirror, so f*** that, I’ll be down Monday.’

Hogan’s personality still shone through in their conversations, despite his health struggles.

Eric shared: ‘It was work for him to have a conversation but he was the same guy.’

Earlier this week, Brooke Hogan took to social media to pay tribute to her dad and to reflect on their turbulent relationship.

The 37-year-old star said on Instagram: ‘When he left this earth, it felt like part of my spirit left with him. I felt it before the news even reached us. I know he’s at peace now, out of pain, and in a place as beautiful as he imagined. He used to speak about this moment with such wonder and hope. Like meeting God was the greatest championship he’d ever have.’

Brooke also used her post to ‘clear a few things up’ regarding their estrangement.

The realty star wrote: ‘It was a series of private phone calls no one will ever hear, know, or understand. My father was confiding in me about issues weighing on his heart, both personal and business. I offered to be a life raft in whatever capacity he needed. I told him he had my support. I begged him to rest, to take care of himself.’

Brooke and her husband, Steven Olesky, actually moved closer to the wrestler as he battled with health problems.

She said: ‘We had been through almost 25 surgeries together, and then all of a sudden he didn’t want me at surgeries…everything started getting covered in a thick veil. It was like there was a force field around him that I couldn’t get through. (sic)’
