Hogan Family Seeks 90-Day Extension to Probe Possible Medical Malpractice in His Care

The filing preserves their ability to investigate medical care before deciding whether to sue.

Overview

  • Hogan’s widow, Sky Daily, and his son, Nicholas Bollea, filed a petition Tuesday requesting a 90-day extension of the statute of limitations to evaluate a potential malpractice claim.
  • The petition names providers at Morton Plant Hospital, where Hogan was pronounced dead, as well as medical professionals at Tampa General Hospital.
  • The Pinellas County medical examiner concluded Hogan died July 24 of a natural acute myocardial infarction and documented atrial fibrillation and chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
  • Clearwater Police say their inquiry remains active as detectives interview witnesses and seek medical records in coordination with the family, with no accusations of wrongdoing to date.
  • TMZ previously reported an occupational therapist told police a recent surgery compromised Hogan’s phrenic nerve, a claim his widow discussed with the outlet, though no public findings have assigned fault.
