Hulk Hogan may have been the victim of medical malpractice at the time of his death, a new bombshell report claims.
The WWE legend died at the age of 71 on July 24. It was initially ruled that he had suffered cardiac arrest at his home in Clearwater, Florida before passing away at a local hospital.
However, almost a month on from his passing, doubt has been cast over his cause of death with it now being shockingly suggested that medical malpractice may have cost him his life.
An occupational therapist is said to have been present at the wrestling icon’s Florida home when he stopped breathing, who raised concerns over Hogan’s condition.

Law enforcement sources reportedly told TMZ that the therapist claimed to officers responding to 911 call at Hogan’s home that the late wrestler was the victim of medical malpractice.
The therapist, who was not named, allegedly told officers that during a recent surgery the surgeon ‘severed’ Hogan’s phrenic nerve.
The phrenic nerve is crucial for a person’s breathing, controlling the diaphragm – the muscle that supports inhalation and exhalation. Phrenic nerve damage can lead to diaphragm paralysis, causing difficulty breathing.
