Hulk Hogan's sickness-plagued final weeks have been detailed after the iconic wrestler died of cardiac arrest aged 71.

A source close to Hogan's family told Daily Mail the WWE star knew full well he was suffering from a very 'weak heart' in his final weeks.

The source said: 'He was suffering from shortness of breath, got tired easily, had lost a lot of weight and was on oxygen' as his life ebbed away at his mansion in Clearwater, Florida.

But there was happiness and contentment during Hogan's final weeks too.

The wrestler, whose real name was Terry Bollea, spent time trying to heal rifts with estranged loved ones because he knew it would be his final chance to do so.
