Hulk Hogan’s daughter Brooke offers to pay for autopsy after widow reveals cremation delay

Brooke Hogan, the daughter of the late Hulk Hogan, wants answers concerning the WWE icon’s death from a heart attack on July 24 at the age of 71.

In a note posted to her Instagram Story on Thursday, the former “Hogan Knows Best” star offered to pay for an autopsy for Hogan due to uncertainty surrounding his death — and after his wife, Sky Daily, said Wednesday he has yet to be cremated as their family has questions about his medical care.

“I’m glad to see that my dad has not been cremated and that Sky is waiting because of family questions,” Brooke wrote.

“With all of the speculation and uncertainty of my dad’s death, I want to personally offer to pay for an autopsy if that’s what it takes to get it done. My dad’s dignity and legacy deserves it.”

Hogan — whose real name was Terry Bollea — was laid to rest in a private funeral Tuesday in Clearwater, Fla.

“Terry chose cremation knowing this physical life is temporary and his heavenly body eternal,” Sky, 46, wrote Wednesday in her Instagram post Wednesday. “He has not yet been cremated, as our family is making sure every question about his medical care is answered first. Once we have that peace of mind, we will honor his wish and fulfill it with love and respect.”

Sky also cautioned that there is false information being spread about Hulk that is “created by faceless AI accounts or by people not close enough to truly know what was happening.”

The WWE Hall of Famer died of a heart attack, according to the Pinellas County Forensic Science Center records obtained by Page Six.

His manner of death was ruled natural, according to the cremation summary approval report.

The records also stated that Hogan previously had leukemia and atrial fibrillation, or irregular heartbeat.

Sky called Hogan’s death “sudden” in an Instagram message the day after he was taken by ambulance to the Clearwater hospital where he died.

Since mid-June, Bubba the Love Sponge, Hogan’s former best friend, reported that the iconic wrestler was in the ICU and on his deathbed — which a rep for Hogan, as well as Sky, denied.

Bubba and Hulk had a falling out after Hulk made a sex tape with Bubba’s then-wife Heather.

During an appearance onthreatened legal action against Hulk’s representatives, claiming his inner circle “spew lies” about her in the press.

Brooke explained that she’s had to “constantly battle false claims” about her relationship with her late father, especially since his health issues made headlines this summer, while she’s trying to live a private life.

Since the news of Hulk’s death broke, Brooke has specifically addressed false reports citing his inner circle that she refused efforts from her father to reconcile their relationship before he died and that she skipped his 2023 wedding to his third wife, Sky, and his funeral because she was feuding with her. The reports had been tied to sources close to Hogan’s inner circle.

Brooke addressed her absence at his funeral and why she chose to honor his life in private with her husband, former NHL defenseman Steve Olesky, and their infant twins.

“My father hated the morbidity of funerals,” she wrote on Instagram, including snapshots of her and her family at the beach. “He didn’t want one. And although I know people grieve in many ways – and I’m so grateful for all celebrations and events organized to honor him, as his daughter, I had to make my own decision to honor him the best and most genuine way I knew how … privately … the way that made me feel the closest to him. The only thing missing today was him in is pop up lawn chair watching the waves … and the sunset.”

Hogan and his ex-wife Linda are parents to Brooke and son Nick.
