Hulk Hogan's daughter Brooke Hogan offers to pay for autopsy for the WWE icon with a bold claim: 'My dad's dignity and legacy deserves it'
The death of wrestling legend
Hulk Hogan
has left his daughter,
Brooke Hogan
, with more questions than answers, and she's willing to pay out of her own pocket to get them. In a series of public statements, Brooke expressed her suspicion about the circumstances surrounding her father's passing and called it 'weird' that no autopsy had been performed.
Now, she says she's ready to fund one herself to protect his dignity and legacy.
Brooke Hogan questions the
cause of death
of Hulk Hogan
Hulk Hogan, born Terry Bollea, died on July 24 at the age of 71 after reportedly suffering a heart attack at his Clearwater, Florida home. Medical records also listed chronic lymphocytic leukemia and atrial fibrillation as underlying conditions. While officials ruled the death natural, Brooke remains unconvinced by the timeline and lack of further investigation.
In an Instagram Story, the 37-year-old wrote, 'I'm glad to see that my dad has not been cremated and that Sky is waiting 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.'

Because yes, you can have a heart attack, but what was the reason for the heart attack is the question.' Brooke also revealed that the leukemia diagnosis only came to her attention through medical documents after his death, despite having seen what she described as consistently healthy blood work.
'One doctor, I quote, said his blood is like a 25-year-old's,' she said. 'He took the most care of his body… How did nobody catch a high white blood cell count? … The lack of an autopsy and then a leukemia diagnosis out of nowhere? It's BS.'
Family disputes
and private farewells have been the talk of the town following Hulk Hogan's demise
Hogan's widow, Sky Daily, addressed Brooke's concerns in her own Instagram post, confirming that cremation has been delayed until 'every question about his medical care is answered first.' She added that the family will honor Hogan's wish for cremation once they have 'peace of mind,' and urged fans to be wary of 'heartbreakingly misleading media stories created by faceless AI accounts' or outsiders.
While Hogan was laid to rest during a private funeral in Clearwater earlier this week, Brooke did not attend. Instead, she held her own intimate beach memorial with her husband, former NHL player Steven Oleksy, and their twins. In her tribute, Brooke explained, 'My father hated the morbidity of funerals… as his daughter, I had to make my own decision to honor him the best and most genuine way I knew how… privately.'
She added that the only thing missing was her father, 'in his pop-up lawn chair watching the waves and the sunset.'
