Brooke Hogan questions circumstances around father Hulk Hogan’s death, offers to fund autopsy
Brooke Hogan, daughter of late wrestling icon Hulk Hogan, is publicly raising doubts about the circumstances surrounding her father’s death and has offered to personally pay for an autopsy amid what she calls growing “uncertainty.”
Hulk Hogan, born Terry Bollea, passed away on July 24 at the age of 71. A report from the Pinellas County Forensic Science Center confirmed his cause of death as acute myocardial infarction (a heart attack) and revealed a previously undisclosed battle with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).
Brooke, 37, expressed shock over the leukemia diagnosis, calling it “weird” given what she described as her father’s history of good health. “The man had a very complicated medical history,” she said in a recent Instagram post, adding that she had seen “multiple near-perfect blood panels” in the past. “Anyone would want answers,” she wrote.

She also voiced concern that Hulk was reportedly cremated without an autopsy, something she initially “freaked out” about. However, she later clarified that the cremation had not yet taken place and that Hulk’s widow, Sky Daily, was “doing the research.”
Brooke, who was estranged from her father in recent years and was reportedly removed from his will, did not attend his funeral. In her posts, she emphasized that her motive is to protect her father’s “dignity and legacy.”
In contrast, Sky Daily, 46, pushed back against what she characterized as “conspiracy theories” and “heartbreakingly misleading media stories.” In a heartfelt Instagram statement, she said Hulk was “deeply loved” and “well cared for” until his final moments. She confirmed he had not yet been cremated, stating the family is taking time to ensure “every question about his medical care is answered.”
Sky also recalled the emotional funeral held at the same church where she and Hulk were married and baptized in 2023, describing it as “one of the most beautiful and moving days” of her life.
