A new report has surfaced suggesting that the recent death of wrestling icon Hulk Hogan may have involved medical malpractice. Sources connected to the family have raised serious questions about a recent operation the legend underwent shortly before he passed away.

Hogan’s botched procedure

According to a report from TMZ Sports, the investigation into Hogan’s death has taken a sharp turn. The report alleges that an occupational therapist, who was present at Hogan’s home when he stopped breathing, informed police officers that a surgeon had “severed” Hogan’s phrenic nerve during a recent procedure.

This nerve is critical for controlling the diaphragm, which is essential for breathing. This stunning claim adds a new, troubling layer to the circumstances surrounding his death.

Brooke Hogan Seeks Answers

These new details seem to align with recent concerns voiced by Hulk Hogan’s daughter, Brooke Hogan. In a series of Instagram posts, Brooke revealed that she has been contacted by professionals who were with her father on the day he died.

She wrote, “I’ve 100% gotten legit calls from professionals- from police officials to nurses that were supposedly with my dad on the day of his death telling ME I need to see body cam footage and I need to get a hold of the 911 tapes because they supposedly contain information that could potentially shed enough light to change the narrative.”

Brooke also shared her frustration over her inability to take action, explaining that all post-mortem decisions are legally controlled by Hogan’s wife, Sky.

“The short of it is- it’s all up to my dad’s wife and I have zero control,” she stated. “I can not do anything, my hands are tied, and I have no say in anything regarding my dad – even as his daughter.”

Investigation is Ongoing

Hulk Hogan’s widow, Sky, has since confirmed to TMZ Sports that the wrestling legend’s phrenic nerve was indeed “compromised” during one of his recent surgeries.

She also confirmed that an autopsy has been completed, but declined to share the results with the public at this time.

The Clearwater Police Department issued a statement confirming the investigation into Hulk Hogan’s death remains active. “We have been in communication with family members — including his son, Nick, and daughter, Brooke. 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. All of this takes time.”
