Brooke Hogan Reveals Truth About Alleged Foul Play In Hulk Hogan’s Death
WWE legend Hulk Hogan died on July 24, 2025, at his Clearwater, Florida home after complications from chronic lymphocytic leukemia led to cardiac arrest.
After The Hulkster’s passing, his daughter Brooke Hogan initially suspected possible foul play and offered to pay for her father’s autopsy. She wanted to be certain of his exact cause of death and questioned medical and legal reports, seeking full clarity about the circumstances.
No Foul Play In Hulk Hogan’s Death
On Wednesday, August 27, Brooke spoke to TMZ and confirmed she no longer believes there was foul play involved in Hulk Hogan’s death after viewing his body and reviewing the 911 call and police evidence.
She said she found peace after seeing her father’s embalmed body wearing his signature bandana and suit, noting the autopsy was completed with visible stitches. Despite not seeing the autopsy results herself, Brooke Hogan stated everything seemed proper and thanked the police for their openness.
“There’s so much red tape. From what I understand, when it becomes a medical malpractice situation, it’s still considered a natural death…I got to see that an autopsy was indeed performed, and that is what I came there to do…A lot of those things put the pieces together.”
Brooke Hogan Was “Traumatized” After Hearing Sky Hogan’s 911 Call to the Police
Speaking to TMZ, Brooke Hogan also acknowledged that hearing Hulk Hogan’s wife, Sky Hogan’s, emotional 911 call was the hardest moment, calling it “traumatizing,” but now accepts her father’s passing.
“Hearing Sky call 911 and hearing her voice was….how can I put this, probably 1,000 times worse for me than seeing my dad dead, honestly…You hear the pure love and panic, and strife, and it was very hard to digest and to listen to. I was putting on my best game face in the police officer’s office to not absolutely sob hearing it.”
Although the official cause of death was heart failure related to leukemia, there are ongoing claims that medical malpractice may have played a role. Reports from the therapist present and law enforcement mention Hulk Hogan’s phrenic nerve might have been severed during recent surgery, possibly leading to breathing issues that contributed to his sudden death. Investigations continue, and no official update has emerged about any medical wrongdoing.
