What prompted Brooke Hogan to step in and pay for Hulk Hogan’s autopsy? Reasons explored

Brooke Hogan is seeking answers about his father, Hulk Hogan's death, and has offered to pay for an autopsy.

While the cause of death for the late WWE icon has been identified as "cardiac arrest," his family still has grievances about the conditions surrounding his death. Brooke also demanded an autopsy to be performed on Hulk Hogan in an interview with Bubba the Love Sponge recently, as she shed light on her late father's health conditions.

The WWE icon is yet to be cremated, as has been confirmed by Hulk's widow, Sky Daily. Brooke Hogan is now showing her dedication to uncovering the truth behind her father's death by offering to pay for his autopsy, as per her post on Instagram.

Brooke Hogan's demand for an autopsy

The absence of an autopsy following Hulk Hogan’s death raised eyebrows among fans and family alike. Brooke Hogan echoed the same sentiments on a recent appearance on Bubba the Love Sponge's show, where she questioned the quality of care her father received before his passing. In the interview, Brooke was quoted as saying:

"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 is the question. He was up and doing breathing exercises and stuff. That means the surgery on his heart was a success and it was working. That's what has me puzzled, because they're saying, ‘Oh, he had leukemia.’ And I saw his blood work every time. One doctor, I quote, said his blood is like a 25-year-old’s. I mean, he took the most care of his body."

She then went on to add:

"He was going to an anti-aging specialist and also, just being through all the surgeries, you have to do a blood panel before any major surgery. How did nobody catch a high white blood cell count? That's what bothers me the most. And I'm like, we don't have cancer that runs in our family. It just seems weird."

The demise of the wrestling icon last month took everybody by surprise. According to his family's statements, Hulk Hogan had been in rude health in the days leading up to his death. But there are still questions about his health, in particular as he was seen walking gingerly in his final documented WWE performance.

The death of Hulk Hogan was lamented by his family members and thousands of fans around the world. Although relations were rather spoiled between Brooke Hogan and Hulk during the last few years, she left an emotional post on Instagram where she expressed her condolences to her deceased father. In the social media post, she wrote:

"My dad’s blood runs through my veins. His eyes shine through my children. And our bond has never been broken, not even in his final moments. We had a connection deeper than words, one that spanned lifetimes. We never had a ‘big fight.’ My father and I never ‘fought.’ It was a series of private phone calls no one will ever hear, know, or understand.”

Brooke Hogan has taken another step in her efforts to uncover the truth about her late father's death by offering to pay for his autopsy. It remains to be seen if her efforts will bear fruit or not.
