Hulk Hogan's Family Seeks 90-Day Extension to Probe Possible Medical Malpractice

The Pinellas County petition names two hospitals as the family scrutinizes care preceding his July death.

Overview

  • Sky Daily and Nicholas Bollea filed a Sept. 30 petition seeking a 90-day tolling period to investigate a potential malpractice claim.
  • The filing identifies Morton Plant Hospital and Tampa General Hospital, along with two medical officials, as possible defendants in a future lawsuit.
  • The Pinellas County medical examiner ruled Hogan’s July 24 death a natural heart attack and noted atrial fibrillation and chronic lymphocytic leukemia as contributing conditions.
  • Clearwater police say detectives remain actively reviewing medical records and interviewing witnesses in coordination with the family, with no allegations filed.
  • Hogan’s widow has alleged a recent surgery compromised his phrenic nerve, a claim now under review as part of the family’s inquiry.
