Create Account The Clearwater Police Department said in a statement Thursday that the 'unique nature of this case has required us to interview multiple witnesses and seek medical records from a variety of providers, and our detectives continue to do that.' Hogan, whose real name was Terry Bollea, died July 24 at age 71 at a hospital after paramedics and police rushed to his beachfront home in Clearwater following a 911 call. That call, and police body camera video of the scene, has not yet been released as the investigation continues. 'All of this takes time,' the police statement said. 'Until the investigation is completed, no records related to the case, including body camera footage, can be released.' Police have previously said there was no evidence of foul play in Hogan's death, so it's not clear exactly what the police probe is looking into other than medical records. Hogan previously had leukemia and atrial fibrillation, an irregular heart rhythm, according to the medical examiner's report that concluded the cause of death was natural.

Investigators have been working with Hogan's family, including his son Nick and daughter Brooke, the statement said. 'We plan to meet with the family and brief them on the case to this point, and we will share the results of the investigation with the family prior to closing the case and releasing it to the public and media,' the police statement added. No timetable for public release of the findings was given. Hogan was perhaps the biggest star in WWE's long history, known for both his larger-than-life personality and his wrestling exploits. He was the main draw for the first WrestleMania in 1985 and was a fixture for years, facing everyone from Andre The Giant and Randy Savage to The Rock and even WWE co-founder Vince McMahon. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Hogan won at least six WWE championships and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2005 and reinstated there in 2018. He had been removed from the Hall of Fame in 2015 after he was recorded making racial slurs against Blacks, for which he apologized. Hogan was to be cremated but it wasn't clear Thursday if that had happened yet. A well-attended but private funeral service was held Aug. 5 at a church in Largo, Florida. Earlier this month, Hogan's daughter Brooke said on Instagram that cremation was postponed 'because of family questions.' 'With all of the speculation and uncertainty of my dad's death, I want to personally offer to pay for an autopsy if that's what it takes to get it done. My dad's dignity and legacy deserves it,' she wrote. It is not clear if an autopsy was conducted. Read More Columnists Columnists Celebrity Canada Celebrity

Ghanaian singer Shatta Wale questioned in US luxury car probe
DAKAR, Senegal (AP) — Ghanaian singer Shatta Wale was taken into custody in connection with a U.S. fraud investigation tied to his luxury vehicle, authorities said Thursday. Ghana's Economic and Organized Crime Office, EOCO, said Wale voluntarily appeared for questioning Wednesday as part of a U.S. government request to investigate the origins of his 2019 Lamborghini Urus. He was released Thursday on bail. The investigation is part of a larger probe into a '$4 million crime that occurred in the U.S. involving some Ghanaians and the recovery of the crime's proceeds,' EOCO said in a statement. The case centers on Nana Kwabena Amuah, a Ghanaian national, who was sentenced in 2023 to seven years in a U.S. federal prison for his role in a $4 million scheme to defraud the city of Lexington, Kentucky, by impersonating nonprofit organizations and tricking city officials into wiring money into a series of shell companies. U.S. authorities suspect Wale's vehicle was purchased with the proceeds of the Kentucky case, according to EOCO. Wale has said he is unable to identify the individual he bought the car from. His legal team had previously said they are 'fully engaged and actively working with the authorities to resolve this matter.' One of Ghana's most influential artists, Wale gained international attention in 2019 after being featured on Beyoncé's song 'Already.' ____ AP's Africa coverage at:
