In a video released on his official Instagram account, former WWE Champion turned actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson revealed that his father, WWE Hall of Famer “Soulman” Rocky Johnson passed away due to complications of a blood clot traveling to his lung, leading to a massive heart attack.

“I lost him just like that, didn’t get a chance to say goodbye to him. He had not been feeling well, had been battling a cold and infection and on Tuesday, he had what is called a deep vein thrombosis, which is essentially a clot in the leg. It was a big old blood clot that broke free, traveled up his body and went right to his lung, clotted his lung and he died very quickly from a massive heart attack, just like that.”

On behalf of everyone associated with Wrestling-News.Net, we would like to extend our condolences to the Johnson family.
