Brooke Hogan, who previously offered to put up the money for a private autopsy to end “speculation and uncertainty” over Hulk Hogan’s death, reportedly visited a funeral home in Florida this week to see her late father’s body.
According to a sources-citing TMZ report, Brooke “sat by his body” at a Florida funeral home on Tuesday. The report, published Wednesday, goes on to say that Brooke’s visit was spurred by autopsy concerns, with the publication further claiming that Hulk’s widow, Sky Daily, informed them that a private autopsy had already taken place, though results were not immediately disclosed.
Additionally, TMZ says Brooke spoke with local police after viewing the body, at which point she was shown body camera video showing officers arriving on the scene after a 911 call was placed from Hulk’s home.
Earlier this month, Brooke argued that her father’s “dignity and legacy” deserved an autopsy.
“I’m glad to see that my dad has not been cremated and that Sky is waiting because of family questions,” she wrote in an Instagram Stories update at the time. “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.”
Previously, Brooke questioned the nature of her father’s death, which a medical examiner last month said was due to a heart attack.
"It's weird that no autopsy was performed," Brooke said when calling into The Bubba the Love Sponge Show this month. "Because yes, you can have a heart attack, but what was the reason for the heart attack is the question."
Hulk Hogan died in July at the age of 71. In a statement, reps for Hulk’s family urged fans to “take solace in the wonderful memories he left behind.”
Last week, the Clearwater Police Department said its detectives were still in progress on an investigation into the death. As department reps explained, the “unique nature of this case” has resulted in multiple witness interviews and coordination with several medical records providers. Prior to the results of this investigation being made public, police added, the family will be briefed on any findings.
