The wrestling world remains gripped by shocking new developments surrounding WWE legend Hulk Hogan’s death on July 24, 2025. His daughter, Brooke Hogan, has publicly stated that the true story behind her father’s passing has yet to emerge—and that recently surfaced body camera footage from the emergency response could change everything.
Hulk Hogan (born Terry Eugene Bollea) passed away at age 71 reportedly from a cardiac arrest at his Clearwater, Florida home. While initial reports and official documents, including 911 call records and autopsy notes, confirmed a heart attack as the cause, Brooke claims there is more to the story than what has been publicly disclosed[1][3].
In a series of candid Instagram posts on August 20, Brooke Hogan revealed she has been contacted by credible sources close to the ongoing investigation urging her to press for access to the bodycam footage, 911 tapes, and other official materials she believes will shed new light on the circumstances of Hogan’s death[1].
Brooke stated that despite her efforts, access to these materials has been blocked largely due to resistance from Hogan’s widow, Sky Daily, and other hurdles with public records requests under the Freedom of Information Act. According to Brooke, the widow’s reluctance to cooperate is preventing the full truth from surfacing.
Brooke also questioned the official narrative that her father suffered from leukemia, stating it had never been diagnosed by medical professionals, nor was it mentioned at the time of death. She called into doubt whether a proper autopsy was conducted before Hogan was pronounced dead, further fueling speculation[1].
Conflicting Reports and Unanswered Questions
Official reports, including those obtained from the Pinellas County Medical Examiner’s Office and 911 emergency call records, have consistently stated the cause of death as an acute myocardial infarction (heart attack)[3]. Hogan’s extensive history of health issues related to his wrestling career—multiple surgeries and back problems—has been well documented, with his own comments revealing “no original body parts” remained intact due to wrestling injuries.
However, the lack of an official public statement from WWE or an unequivocal confirmation from Hogan’s family, especially in the weeks immediately following the incident, created confusion and rumors circulating in the wrestling community and news outlets. WWE and Hogan’s representatives initially addressed health rumors but refrained from confirming any death details in early stages[2].
Further propelling rumors are recent public accusations by personalities like Bubba the Love Sponge, who claimed that Hulk Hogan was not just dying but potentially had been killed, although these claims are yet to be substantiated and are met with skepticism by many fans and analysts[5].
Wrestling Community Reacts
The WWE universe has been overwhelmingly shocked and saddened by the loss of one of the industry’s most iconic figures. Hulk Hogan’s influence on professional wrestling transcended generations, and his sudden death rocked fans worldwide. The upcoming bombshell report and possible public release of bodycam footage have fans and insiders waiting with bated breath.
Sources close to WWE and wrestling news outlets like Fightful and Ringside News indicate that the company is respecting the private nature of the investigation but acknowledges the massive public interest in uncovering the facts.
What Could the Bodycam Footage Reveal?
Emergency responders’ body cameras could potentially disclose critical moments from the immediate aftermath of Hogan’s collapse that official summaries have glossed over or omitted. It may provide evidence on treatment provided, any external factors at play, or clarifications on Hogan’s physical state prior to hospital transport.
According to wrestling insiders and investigative journalists, if authorities are indeed cooperating with family members like Brooke Hogan, the footage might either confirm the heart attack narrative or reveal previously unknown details that could compel law enforcement or medical examiners to revisit the case.
Brooke Hogan is publicly advocating for transparency, emphasizing, “The Hulkamaniacs deserve to know the truth about my dad’s passing”[1]. WWE.com archives and Hogan’s past interviews show a man whose health was fragile but whose spirit remained strong, making the uncertainty around his death even more poignant.
