Back in 2013, Hogan was actually diagnosed with Vascular Alzheimer’s, which is known as a condition that causes brain damage from multiple strokes. Despite his diagnosis, he was determined to keep on working, and he did just that. He was able to continue working and thriving with his condition up until his death.
