Was Hulk Hogan’s Death Caused Due To Medical Malpractice?
A major twist has come to light surrounding Hulk Hogan’s death.
The former World Champion passed away on July 24, aged 71, in Florida.
On August 7, his widow, Sky Hogan, revealed in a tribute social media post that Hogan was yet to be cremated, as the family was ensuring every question surrounding his death was answered.
On the same day, his daughter, Brooke Hogan, posted a story on Instagram, claiming she was willing to pay for The Hulkster’s autopsy.
According to TMZ, Sky Hogan confirmed that the wrestling legend’s phrenic nerve was “compromised” during a recent surgery.
This nerve is associated with the diaphragm, which controls breathing.
She also said that the doctors had performed an autopsy, although she refused to divulge any more details.
Hulk Hogan A Victim Of Medical Malpractice, Claim Medical Professionals
Hulk Hogan’s death may have been caused by medical malpractice, according to law enforcement and medical professionals.
According to a report possessed by the Clearwater PD, an occupational therapist was at the scene when Hulk Hogan died.
The report is currently held back from being released to the public; it is said that the report mentions the therapist telling the responding officers that the 71-year-old was a victim of medical malpractice.
TMZ was also told that the responding officers discussed what the therapist had told them, and that it was on record on their body cams.
The conversation between the therapist and the Clearwater PD officers may also be recorded on body cam.
Hulk Hogan’s former friend, Bubba the Love Sponge, claimed that Hogan’s daughter, Brooke, had been receiving messages from hospital personnel and cops about a potential medical malpractice.
Bubba says Hulk Hogan’s daughter Brooke is getting all kinds of DMs from nurses, cops, and others who were there that claim “something bad is going on here.”
