Brooke Hogan says she believes that are more details surrounding her father Hulk Hogan’s death than what has been publicly disclosed thus far.
The reality TV personality and musician, 37, shared a series of Instagram stories Wednesday in which she claims to have heard from “police officials” and “nurses” who pointed to the existence of bodycam footage and 911 recordings that could “change the narrative” surrounding her father’s death.
“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,” Brooke Hogan wrote. “They are quite literally putting their careers at risk because they feel so compelled to do the right thing.”
Hulk Hogan, whose real name was Terry Bollea, died July 24 at his Clearwater, Florida, home. About a week later, the Pinellas County Forensic Science Center confirmed to HuffPost that the wrestling legend had died from acute myocardial infarction, or what’s commonly known as a heart attack.
He also had a history of chronic lymphocytic leukemia, a cancer that affects white blood cells, which was not previously known.
A day after Brooke Hogan’s posts, Hulk Hogan’s wife, Sky Daily, told TMZ that her husband had been “compromised” in a recent surgery, and said an autopsy had been completed. She did not disclose the results.
Earlier this year, Brooke Hogan confirmed she was estranged from both Hulk Hogan and her mother, Linda, after having been “verbally and mentally abused since childhood.”
“No contact with my Mom has nothing to do with my Dad, and no contact with my Father has nothing to do with my Mother,” she wrote on Instagram in March. “This decision was made based purely on how they have each dealt with me directly my entire life.”

When Hulk Hogan was laid to rest earlier this month, Brooke Hogan said she did not attend the funeral. Appearing on “Bubba the Love Sponge Show” Aug. 5, she revealed she’d been excluded from her father’s will at her request.
In her Instagram stories, Brooke Hogan said she was relying on her brother, Nick Hogan, to push for more “answers” regarding their dad’s death.
“I can not do anything, my hands are tied, and I have no say in anything regarding my dad ― even as his daughter,” she wrote. “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.”
