Overview
- The Clearwater Police Department released a 72-page report on Friday that concluded Terry “Hulk Hogan” Bollea died of an attended natural death and closed the investigation with no evidence of criminal wrongdoing.
- Investigators reviewed surveillance, 911 and bodycam material, medical records, witness interviews and a Drug Enforcement Administration review of prescriptions that found no irregularities in controlled-substance use.
- Florida’s District Six medical examiner and a private autopsy paid for by the family both found acute myocardial infarction as the cause of death and reported no traumatic or toxicologic contributors.
- An occupational therapist who first suggested surgical phrenic-nerve damage later told police he had been rattled and 'spoke out of turn,' and the local medical examiner declined to perform a full autopsy initially.
- Hogan’s daughter Brooke Hogan has publicly disputed the investigation, citing redacted records, limited access to the private autopsy and unresolved questions that have led the family to explore civil options and demand more transparency.
