Hulk Hogan’s estranged daughter Brooke has released a bombshell statement over her father’s death – and revealed that officials will conduct an autopsy.
The wrestling icon suffered a cardiac arrest and passed away at the age of 71 last month. By then, Hogan had gone years without speaking to Brooke, 37.
Brooke initially remained silent in the wake of his death, before later demanding an autopsy on his body and seemingly accused the authorities of foul play.
She later backtracked over those comments but has now returned to social media to claim that body cam footage from the day could ‘shed enough light to change the narrative’.
On her Instagram story, she wrote: ‘FACT: I’ve 100% gotten legit calls from professionals- from police officials to nurses that were supposedly with my dad on the day of his death telling ME I need to see body cam footage and I need to get a hold of the 911 tapes because they supposedly contain information that could potentially shed enough light to change the narrative we/I/everyone’s been hearing.
‘Those same professionals feel so passionately about what they witnessed, they have continued to contact me and push me to find specific answers to this very day.

‘They are quite literally putting their careers at risk because they feel so compelled to do the right thing. The short of it is- it’s all up to my dad’s wife and I have zero control. I can not do anything, my hands are tied, and I have no say in anything regarding my dad – even as his daughter. Those are the rules as I’ve been told.
In another story, she wrote: ‘I do not have any information on if or when he is being cremated. Could have been right after he died, could be tomorrow. I do not know.
‘I have been told by my brother there will be an autopsy. I do not know who will be performing the autopsy. Any information I receive from an autopsy- if one happens-whether I believe it or not, I will be keeping private out of respect for my father.
‘I do not have answers as to if the officials who have contacted me about what they witnessed relayed this information to the medical examiner’s office. And if they did, I do not know why it wasn’t taken into consideration.
‘All body cam footage and 911 dispatch calls are not available via the freedom of information act. It’s all on lockdown. I do not know why.
‘Do I question his general physician signing off on his death certificate, given his background which is available for anyone to see via a simple Google search? You can answer that one for yourself.
‘I have to trust that my brother is doing his best to get answers. At the end of the day, answers would be great, but none of it brings my dad back. And my hands are tied’.
Hogan, real name Terry Bollea, died on July 24 from a cardiac arrest, according to a Florida medical examiner’s office.

The 71-year-old previously had leukemia and atrial fibrillation, an irregular heart rhythm, the report from the District Six Medical Examiner also said.
However, despite his previous health issues, Hogan’s daughter Brooke took to social media in the days that followed to seemingly accuse the authorities of foul play.
Brooke shared an article by radio personality and Hogan friend Bubba the Love Sponge, which read: ‘Quick cremation without autopsy raises questions about Hulk Hogan’s death.’ Brooke added a caption: ‘Exactly.’
The Clearwater Police Department attempted to squash any outlandish theory about Hogan’s death as they said: ‘As previously stated, there are no signs of foul play or anything suspicious about the death’.
Hogan was pronounced dead at a hospital less than 90 minutes after medics arrived at his home in Clearwater to answer a call about a cardiac arrest on the morning of July 24, police said. The report said the cause of death was ‘natural.’
Bubba’s allegations include that Hogan’s body has already been cremated, somebody could have injected something into the wrestler’s dialysis port while he slept to induce a heart attack and questions around why an autopsy wasn’t carried out.
Bubba, whose real name is Todd Clem, did not offer facts to substantiate his stunning claims, which stem from a report in the Tampa Bay Times from July 31 that says Hogan was ‘doing therapy’ when he collapsed at his home in Clearwater Beach on July 24.
Brooke previously shared a conspiracy theory and added the caption: ‘exactly’
The report says paramedics told staff at Morton Plant Hospital that Hogan had just returned home from surgery and was ‘currently waiting to start dialysis’. Clem claims nobody knew the wrestling icon was due to begin dialysis.
In a bid to revive him, medics reportedly gave Hogan drugs that can treat excessive levels of potassium, a sign of kidney failure. These can lead to cardiac arrest.
Hogan was also given two milligrams of Narcan, the drug that can quickly reverse opioid overdoses. There is no indication that Hogan had overdosed.
However, The Tampa Bay Times also revealed the Pinellas County Medical Examiner did not perform an autopsy on Hogan because his death was not deemed to be suspicious.
