(CNN) — Professional wrestler Hulk Hogan died of a heart attack, according to authorities.

Hogan’s official cause of death is cited as “acute myocardial infarction” – which in layman’s terms means a heart attack – according to a cremation approval summary report from the medical examiner’s office in Pinellas County, Florida shared with CNN on Thursday.

The medical examiner’s office also confirmed that Hogan, whose given name was Terry Gene Bollea, had a history of an irregular heartbeat and blood cancer, conditions that are cited as contributing factors to his death. His manner of death was ruled as “natural.” The office stipulated in an email to CNN that no autopsy or exam was performed, and that Hogan’s death was certified by his primary care physician.
