00:00New details are emerging over the death of American icon Hulk Hogan.
00:06Hogan's health took a turn for the worst in the last month of his life.
00:10He reportedly suffered a weak heart and shortness of breath, and he was also on oxygen.
00:16In June, radio personality Bubba the Love Sponge claimed that Hogan was close to death.
00:22He's in a hospital bed. It's just like he's at the hospital.
00:26They've gone as far as they can go at the hospital. Now they just they're keeping him comfortable at his house.
00:33That triggered fierce denials from Hogan's rep.
00:36I'm the one that got on the air and said, you know, the family has been summoned to come see him and he's having cardiac issues.
00:44And I was really made out to be the bad guy because all of his handlers were all in denial.
00:49Hogan and Bubba's friendship ended in 2012 after the famed wrestler was caught on a sex tape with Bubba's wife.
00:56Did you two ever reconcile your friendship?
00:59No, I did a lot of crying yesterday.
01:02One of Hogan's last public appearances came in May when he toured the construction site of his new restaurant and bar called Slam.
01:11His weight loss was noticeable and his face looked gaunt.
01:16He also showed up at Fox and Friends.
01:18Somehow he was able to put on a high energy interview.
01:22So what you gonna do?
01:24Over the years, he admitted using steroids, which doctors say can significantly increase the risk of heart attacks.
01:31When I got into the professional wrestling business, not trying to point fingers, but everybody in all the sports industries were using a baseball and football and hockey and wrestling.
01:41More tributes are pouring in over the death.
01:43Dwayne The Rock Johnson famously wrestled with the Hulkster in 2002.
01:48To millions of little kids, you were a childhood hero, myself included, said The Rock.
