Brooke Olesky has questions.
Despite being estranged from her famous father Hulk Hogan, she is apparently still 'puzzled' over the circumstances surrounding his July 24 death.
According to the Pinellas County medical examiner's office, Hogan (real name Terry Bollea) died of acute myocardial infarction, also known as a heart attack, at his Clearwater, Florida, mansion at age 71.
The ME's report added that Hogan had a history of an irregular heartbeat as well as chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), a blood cancer that starts in the bone marrow.
While Olesky was aware of his cardiac problems, the 'out of nowhere' cancer news seemed like 'BS,' she told Bubba the Love Sponge on his radio show earlier this week.
'That's what has me puzzled,' the mother of twins told the host, aka Todd Clem. 'They're saying, 'Oh, he had leukemia.' And I saw his blood work every time. One doctor, I quote, said his blood is like a 25-year-old's. He took the most care of his body; he was going to an anti-aging specialist.'
Olesky believes an autopsy is the only way to get answers and clear up any 'speculation and uncertainty.' The onetime reality star, who requested to be taken out of Hogan's will, wrote on Stories Thursday that she would personally pay for the procedure.
Seems she is not the only with questions — Hogan's third wife Sky Daily also took to Instagram to address the matter.
Next to a throwback montage of the Hulkster, the widow confirmed her late husband had not yet been cremated, though it was his request, 'knowing this physical life is temporary and his heavenly body eternal.'
The 'family is making sure every question about his medical care is answered first,' said Wednesday's post. 'Once we have that peace of mind, we will honor his wish and fulfill it with love and respect.'
Turns out Daily is the only family member who can approve the autopsy, the District Six Medical Examiner in Largo told TMZ Sports.
Memorial services were held for the WWE Hall of Famer Tuesday, a few miles from his home. There was a casket at the private ceremony, though it's unclear if his body was inside.
Olesky did not attend, telling her Instagram followers that her dad hated the 'morbidity' of funerals and she chose to honor him privately.
