Nearly a year after the death of wrestling legend Hulk Hogan, the investigation into his passing has officially come to a close. Authorities ruled that Hogan (real name Terry Bollea) died of natural causes and found no evidence of criminal activity.
However, Hogan’s daughter, Brooke Hogan, says she still has concerns about the handling of the investigation. Moreover, she believes several questions remain unanswered.
Brooke Hogan points out inconsistencies in Hulk Hogan’s death investigation process
Recently appearing on The Bubba the Love Sponge Show, Brooke criticized the Clearwater Police Department’s handling of the case. She also admitted feeling frustrated by the lack of communication throughout the investigation.
According to her, investigators publicly thanked her for cooperating, but she never felt fully informed about what was happening. She claimed that obtaining records and information emerged as a difficult affair. Moreover, many of her questions did not produce answers or only received incomplete explanations.
As she looked deeper into the details surrounding her father’s final moments, Brooke said she noticed several inconsistencies that made her question the official timeline.
Brooke raised concerns about the medical procedures that followed Hogan’s death. She questioned why a family physician signed the death certificate instead of a forensic pathologist. She also admitted she never received the autopsy information she expected.
Hulk Hogan’s daughter also questioned references to toxicology findings. She claimed she had heard issues involving blood samples and other records.
“Normally, most autopsies take place within 72 hours of the person dying. So I don’t know how long this information lasts in your eyeball or in your blood or wherever they can pull it from. But they said they didn’t have his blood, but yet they were able to have a toxicology report and they don’t want to list that there was an autopsy on the official record of death on the death certificate. So make that make sense to me,” Brooke said.
Brooke also mentioned that she initially believed the family would eventually receive a complete explanation of the findings. But those answers never came.
“They played Sky’s 911 tape to me. And at the time, I felt like, ‘Okay, everybody’s cooperating. I feel good. Like, we’ll get the we’ll get the results of the autopsy back.’ But then when the autopsy never came back to me and I kept asking for it, and I kept asking for it, and I kept asking for it, and then it was getting changed. And I asked, ‘Well, what could make a doctor 10 months later make changes to an autopsy?’” Brooke said.
Another issue Brooke pointed to was surveillance footage from Hogan’s home. She said her father had an extensive security camera system, yet she has been unable to get clear answers about whether any footage exists from the time of his death.
One of her biggest concerns involves conflicting accounts of where Hogan was found when medical help was called.
“My brother told me and my husband, we both heard it, that he died in his chair. Then the report says they found him on the floor. Who found him on the floor? Where were the nurses? Where were they coming back from? Why was Sky the only witness to him not breathing?” Brooke said.
For her, these differences in the reported details have made it difficult to fully accept the official version of events.
