Brooke Hogan Questions Circumstances Surrounding Hulk Hogan’s Death
New York, NY – August 21, 2025 – Brooke Hogan, daughter of the legendary professional wrestler Hulk Hogan, has raised questions about the circumstances of her father’s death in a series of emotional Instagram Stories posted on August 20. The wrestling icon, born Terry Bollea, passed away on July 24, 2025, at the age of 71 in his Clearwater, Florida home, reportedly due to a heart attack stemming from previously undisclosed health issues, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia and atrial fibrillation. However, Brooke’s recent statements suggest there may be more to the story.
In her Instagram posts, Brooke revealed she has been contacted by professionals, including police officials and nurses who were allegedly present on the day of her father’s death. These individuals urged her to obtain body camera footage and 911 call recordings, claiming they contain critical information that could “potentially shed enough light to change the narrative” surrounding Hulk Hogan’s passing. Brooke emphasized that she has shared all the information with her brother, Nick Hogan, who is actively involved in seeking answers.

“It’s not clear what exactly Brooke means by ‘change the narrative,’” a source close to the family stated, noting that Brooke and her father had been estranged for two years prior to his death. Despite their distance, Brooke’s determination to uncover the truth has sparked widespread interest, with fans and media speculating about what the unreleased footage and tapes might reveal.
The Clearwater Police Department has confirmed that an active death investigation is underway but has declined to provide further details, stating that additional information will be released when available. As of now, the 911 audio and police body camera footage remain sealed, with no public timeline for their release. Brooke has expressed frustration over her limited access to these materials, noting that her Freedom of Information Act requests have been unsuccessful. She also mentioned being “frozen out” by Hulk Hogan’s widow, Sky Daily, who holds authority over decisions regarding an autopsy, which has not yet been conducted.
Hulk Hogan, a towering figure in professional wrestling, was celebrated for his larger-than-life persona and contributions to the sport’s mainstream popularity. From headlining the first WrestleMania in 1985 to starring in the reality show Hogan Knows Best, his legacy extended beyond the ring into pop culture. His sudden death shocked fans worldwide, and Brooke’s recent statements have only deepened the mystery surrounding his final moments.
Brooke, who did not attend her father’s private funeral on August 5, concluded her statement by acknowledging the emotional toll of the situation. “My family is already dealing with enough,” she wrote, adding that she would not discuss the matter further publicly. However, she expressed hope that her brother Nick’s efforts would yield answers, even as she admitted, “None of it brings my dad back.”
As the investigation continues, the wrestling community and fans await further developments, hoping for clarity on the events leading to the loss of one of the industry’s greatest icons. For now, Brooke Hogan’s call for transparency has brought renewed attention to her father’s legacy and the unresolved questions surrounding his death.
