Hulk Hogan’s Widow Plans Malpractice Suit as Brooke Hogan Says She Sees No Foul Play

Clearwater police are continuing a unique death investigation that has not ruled out medical malpractice.

Overview

  • Sky Daily is reported to be preparing a medical malpractice lawsuit tied to Hulk Hogan’s May neck surgery, alleging his phrenic nerve was compromised.
  • Daily ordered a private autopsy and has not released the findings, and TMZ reports sources who heard the 911 call say she told dispatchers he had stopped breathing.
  • Brooke Hogan visited a Clearwater funeral home, confirmed her father’s body had not been cremated and was embalmed, and met with police to review bodycam footage and the 911 audio.
  • After the review, Brooke said she does not suspect foul play and confirmed an autopsy was performed, though she has not seen the results.
  • Official Pinellas County records list an acute myocardial infarction as the cause of death with atrial fibrillation and chronic lymphocytic leukemia noted, as police continue to gather medical records and evaluate a therapist’s claim of phrenic nerve injury.
