In a report by Fox News, the news outlet confirmed that Hogan passed away at his home in coastal Maine. His family revealed that the late actor lost his battle from pneumonia complications on May 27.
The infection of the lungs could put seniors at high risk and could result in death, according to American Lung Association. Hogan's family did not reveal more information about the health condition, but it has been widely known that the actor also dealt with Alzheimer's disease for eight years.
