Memorial plans have been set for Hulk Hogan a week after the legendary wrestler died at age 71.
Hogan will be laid to rest in a memorial service on Aug. 5, set to take place at a church in Tampa, Fla., a source told Us Weekly.
Documents obtained by the outlet on Thursday also revealed that Hogan’s body will be cremated. The Pinellas County Forensic Science Center in Largo, Fla. approved the cremation on Wednesday.
Hogan’s death was confirmed on Thursday to be the result of an acute myocardial infarction, more commonly known as a heart attack. His manner of death was listed as natural.
Though few other details were provided, official records cited by Us Weekly said the wrestling star also had a history of leukemia CLL, a type of cancer that usually impacts older adults and affects white blood cells called lymphocytes.
It’s unclear when Hogan was diagnosed with CLL or if he was battling the cancer in the days before his death.
At the time of his passing, the World Wrestling Federation Hall of Famer was reportedly in the midst of filming a Netflix documentary about his life and career.
Sources associated with the doc told CNN the previously unannounced project has been in the works since 2024. Producers reportedly culled more than 20 hours of unseen sit-down interviews with Hogan, in addition to 30 hours of scenes already shot.
According to an insider, viewers are promised to “see a side of [Hogan] they haven’t seen before.”
The plan is still to complete the film as production remains ongoing, though certain portions will have to be reworked, sources said. A release date has not yet been set.
