It's been 10 months since wrestling icon Hulk Hogan passed away and some questions remain over the circumstances surrounding his fatal heart attack. But according to his daughter, one key person is simply refusing to speak to anyone about the fateful events.
Appearing on the Bubba the Love Sponge Show, Brooke Hogan revealed that she has been unable to obtain the report from her father's autopsy and that the nurse who was present for it has seemingly gone missing.
“Now, if you wanted to go get the autopsy, they’ve hired a private doctor to do the autopsy," Hogan explained.
“It’s premeditated, like already knowing to call the private doctor down to sign his time of death, versus the guy that’s on duty at the ER would normally do it, right? Like, okay, we’ve got somebody that’s deceased. There’s a highly qualified surgeon in the ER or doctor in the ER that would have done that, but instead they’re like, ‘Let’s call this guy and have him come down and sign it.’ And what’s crazy about that is if that doctor, allegedly, maybe don’t know it to be true, gave him anything by him signing off and saying it was a natural death, well, that closes the case. We all wipe our hands, and it goes away. There’s no investigation.
“Well, if you wanted to ask the nurse or get a copy of. It’s not like they hired anybody from the Bay Area. If you wanted to go and get information on what happened that day or ask the nurse, he’s disappeared. He’s scared. You can’t get hold of him. Nobody can get a hold of this guy who was there. He was the only other person that was there the day my dad died. And Sky (Hogan's wife) was the only person there.”
Something More Going On?
Wrestling fans agreed that something seemed fishy about the whole situation. Some mused that certain parties are trying to avoid responsibility for what happened to the wrestling great. Others believe that Brooke is just showing more sour grapes over removing herself from her father's life and will in the final years of his life.
"She’s not completely wrong to think this way, I mean look what happened to Michael Jackson , his doctor was found guilty and you’d be surprised with hulk hogans celebrity and what he’s worth and probably has left behind, yah there is motive for sure on wrongdoing somewhere but that speculation has been felt by the fans since the news of his passing and how and honestly I immediately remembered Michael Jackson death scenario," one user wrote on X.
"She removed herself from her fathers life. She gets no say," another said dismissively.
"I agree with brooke..." wrote a third.

Hogan was an icon in wrestling and one of the trailblazers in bringing it to the mainstream of pop culture in the 1980s. And while many decisions that he made throughout his life ate away at some of the fanbase he built, he remains a legend among the fans who adored him until the end.
But it's very possible that we may never get the whole picture of what happened on the day he passed away.
