Overview
- Clearwater police say the case remains active as detectives conduct interviews and seek medical records, with certain body‑camera and 911 recordings still restricted.
- Brooke Hogan visited a Clearwater funeral home, saw her father's body, reviewed police footage and the 911 call, and now says she does not suspect foul play.
- Officials previously recorded the cause of death as acute myocardial infarction; Brooke and Sky Daily say an autopsy was performed, though findings have not been released.
- Sky Daily is reported to be preparing a medical malpractice lawsuit focused on a May neck operation she believes compromised Hogan’s phrenic nerve, and she commissioned a private autopsy.
- An occupational therapist at the home told police the phrenic nerve was severed or compromised during recent surgery, and the body has not been cremated as the inquiry and legal steps proceed.
