• Hogan’s widow, Sky Daily, told TMZ the phrenic nerve was “compromised” during a recent procedure and said an autopsy has been completed, though results have not been disclosed and cremation has not occurred.
• Clearwater police say the death investigation is ongoing, no records including body‑cam or 911 audio will be released yet, and detectives are interviewing witnesses and gathering medical records.
