Hulk Hogan, one of wrestling’s biggest legends, passed away at the age of 71, leaving fans heartbroken. He wasn’t just a star; he defined an era and created unforgettable moments in the sport. While fans continue to mourn, the circumstances around his death remain unclear, and new questions keep emerging. Family disagreements and hints of possible malpractice have added to the mystery.
Hulk Hogan’s widow, Sky Daily, reportedly plans to take legal action against at least one of the doctors who treated him earlier this year. According to TMZ, the focus is on a neck surgery he underwent in May 2025. Sky claims the surgery went wrong and affected Hulk’s phrenic nerve, which is crucial for controlling breathing. She believes this could have played a role in his death at their Florida home on July 24, 2025. While the official cause of death is listed as a heart attack, some sources, including an occupational therapist at Hogan’s home, have raised concerns about nerve damage possibly contributing to his passing. Investigations are ongoing as authorities look into all aspects of the case.
Questions have also arisen about Hulk Hogan’s autopsy and cremation. He had previously expressed a wish to be cremated, but that hasn’t happened yet. Sky Daily confirmed a private autopsy was conducted but didn’t share the findings. Hogan’s daughter, Brooke, has also expressed uncertainty, saying she doesn’t know when or by whom the autopsy will be performed and questioning reports that leukemia was the cause of death.
Hulk Hogan’s personal life was marked by both joy and challenges. He first married Linda Claridge in 1983, and they had two children, Brooke and Nick, before divorcing in 2007. He later married Jennifer McDaniel in 2010, divorcing in 2021. In 2023, he married 46-year-old yoga instructor Sky Daily, who is now at the center of the controversy surrounding his death.
