Brooke Hogan, the daughter of wrestling legend Hulk Hogan, appeared on Bubba the Love Sponge, where she questioned reports that the former WWE star had leukemia prior to his death. Terry Gene Bollea, better known as Hulk Hogan, passed away after a heart attack in his Clearwater, Florida, home. Brooke shared her confusion, stating

“That’s what has me puzzled because they’re saying, ‘Oh, he had leukemia, and I’m like, ‘I saw his blood work every time [he had a past surgery].’” she shared.

Brooke said she had been present at nearly all of her father’s surgeries, with the exception of a heart procedure earlier this year. She noted there were no signs in his medical records that suggested a cancer diagnosis.

“One doctor, I quote, said, ‘His blood is like a 25-year-old.”

Brooke replied with a simple: “Exactly.” Brooke Hogan continued to express concern about what she viewed as inconsistencies:

“Being through all the surgeries, you have to do a blood panel before any major surgery. How didn’t nobody catch a high white blood count? That’s what bothers me the most.”

While she acknowledged that Hulk’s heart “was compromised,” she added,

In the days leading up to Hulk Hogan’s death, his wife, Sky Daily, publicly denied speculation about his health deteriorating.

“No, he’s definitely not in a coma,” she wrote on her Instagram Story, as reported by PennLive.

“His heart is strong, and there was never any lack of oxygen or brain damage. None of those rumors are true.”

Daily, who married the wrestling icon in September 2023, acknowledged that Hogan had been dealing with medical issues, specifically recovering from a major spinal operation, an anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), involving four levels. She explained the situation on social media,

“If you look it up, you’ll see what the last six weeks have involved … not just for his spine, but also for his vocal cords, and the eating/breathing tubes that are clamped over during surgery,” she shared.

Brooke Hogan reflects on late father, questions autopsy and final surgery

After Hulk Hogan’s sudden passing, his official cause of death was confirmed as acute myocardial infarction, the medical term for a heart attack, according to documents obtained by Us Weekly.

Despite the confirmation, his daughter Brooke Hogan voiced her skepticism regarding the circumstances surrounding his final medical procedure and the lack of an autopsy.

Referring to her father’s final heart surgery, she shared that:

“I don’t know if it was absolutely necessary to do it, I do think it’s weird that no autopsy was performed. Because, yes you can have a heart attack, but what was the reason for the heart attack?”

Brooke Hogan went further, expressing doubts about a leukemia diagnosis that reportedly surfaced after his death.

“To me the no autopsy and the leukemia out of nowhere hits me as BS,” she added.

Although the two had not spoken in the two years prior to his death, Brooke Hogan posted a tribute on social media shortly after his passing.

“My dad’s blood runs through my veins. His eyes shine through my children. And our bond has never broken, not even in his final moments, we had a connection deeper than words, one that spanned lifetimes.” she shared.
