Brooke Hogan Demands Answers After Dad's Death Report Released

More than a year after Hulk Hogan’s death in July 2025, his daughter Brooke is stepping into the public arena with serious questions about how her father’s passing was handled—and she’s not holding back.

On Monday, June 8, the 38-year-old went live with clips shared by Bubba The Love Sponge via X, responding directly to the Clearwater Police’s release of a 72-page death report. The tone was raw and pointed. Brooke (real name Brooke Ellen Bollea) made it clear she felt sidelined by law enforcement:“Keep my effing name out of your mouth. You have not treated me like family. You have not helped me. You have not been in touch with me like you should have been.”It’s a far cry from the measured silence she’d maintained until now—a silence she says was rooted in respect and integrity.

The backdrop here matters. Hulk Hogan (real name Terry Gene Bollea) died of a heart attack at age 71, with medical documents revealing a history of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL). But Brooke was estranged from her father before his death and was left out of his will entirely. He shared Brooke and son Nick Hogan with ex-wife Linda Hogan, whom he was married to from 1983 to 2009. Later marriages to Jennifer McDaniel (2010 to 2022) and Sky Daily (2023) followed. The family fractures run deep, and the will speaks volumes.

What’s lighting the fire now? Brooke claims she requested the autopsy and even offered to pay for it—yet she hasn’t received it. She’s questioning why it wasn’t listed on the final death certificate and suggests the lack of transparency is damning.“Unless that autopsy contains something that doesn’t align with your narrative,”she said pointedly. She’s also raising eyebrows about the circumstances of discovery: why was her father unattended to the point that his wife Sky Daily, 47, was the only one who noticed he wasn’t breathing, despite two medical professionals allegedly being present?

There’s also the WWE snub. When Nick Khan reached out about WWE events, the invitation came through her brother, not to her directly. Brooke bristled at the implications:“I guess you don’t want my face there.”She defended her decision to skip Hulk’s funeral, saying she didn’t want to see him“paraded around like a show pony with makeup on, smelling like formaldehyde,”and expressed frustration that refusing to participate in what she saw as theatrical grief somehow erased her claim to answers about her father’s death.

This situation sits at the intersection of family estrangement, media spectacle, and legitimate questions about due process. Whether Brooke’s concerns about the autopsy and the police investigation hold weight will likely depend on what comes next—if anything. For now, she’s broken her silence, and the Clearwater Police department has her full attention.
