Overview
- The Clearwater Police Department announced on June 5 that its 11-month inquiry is closed and that investigators found no evidence of criminal wrongdoing in the death of Terry “Hulk Hogan” Bollea.
- Police said records show Hogan suffered a medical emergency at his Clearwater home on July 24, 2025, was given CPR, was transported to a nearby hospital, and later died; the case is classified as an attended natural death.
- A private autopsy cited acute myocardial infarction and described death as coming “exclusively from compelling natural disease,” with health records noting atrial fibrillation and chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
- An occupational therapist present when Hogan stopped breathing initially suggested possible malpractice related to alleged phrenic nerve damage but later told investigators he was not a specialist and had limited contact with Hogan.
- Hogan’s family has pursued a 90-day statute-of-limitations extension to explore civil medical-malpractice options, and police said some surveillance, medical and autopsy materials will remain private or are exempt from public release.
