Overview

  • Hogan’s widow, Sky Daily, told TMZ his phrenic nerve was compromised in a recent surgery and confirmed an autopsy was completed, declining to share the findings.
  • A TMZ-cited police report says an occupational therapist at Hogan’s home alleged a surgeon severed his phrenic nerve, with officers’ on‑scene discussions reportedly captured on body‑camera video.
  • Clearwater police say the investigation is active as detectives interview witnesses and collect medical records, with 911 audio and body‑camera footage withheld until the case is closed.
  • Official records list the cause of death as an acute myocardial infarction, with a history of atrial fibrillation and chronic lymphocytic leukemia noted, and police have previously reported no signs of foul play.
  • Brooke Hogan says medical and law‑enforcement professionals urged her to obtain body‑camera and 911 recordings, and she has pushed for transparency while noting decisions rest with Hogan’s wife.
