WWE legend Hulk Hogan was laid to rest on August 5 in a private ceremony in Clearwater, FL, twelve days after his death. The moment saw family, close friends, and fellow wrestlers come together to pay their respects. While his death was officially ruled a heart attack, with records citing a history of severe leukaemia, Brooke Hogan isn’t buying it. Speaking on The Bubba the Love Sponge Show, the wrestling icon’s daughter said the idea that her dad had leukaemia before he died just doesn’t sit right with her.
Brooke Hogan finds Hulk Hogan’s death suspicious
On the show, Brooke claimed she had seen all his medical reports every time he went in for surgery, and there was never any sign of leukaemia. “Being through all the surgeries, you have to do a blood panel before any major surgery,” she said. “How did nobody catch a high white blood count? That’s what bothers me the most.” The 37-year-old added, “We don’t have cancer that runs in our family. It seems weird.”
Brooke, calling the whole thing suspicious, said one doctor even told her Hulk’s blood “looked like it belonged to a 25-year-old.” He was seeing anti-ageing specialists, took his health seriously, and yet, somehow, she says no one saw this coming. What also doesn’t sit right with her is the fact that there was no autopsy. “Yes, heart attacks happen,” she said, “but what was the reason for the heart attack?” For her, the leukaemia diagnosis and the choice to skip an autopsy just screams “B.S.”
She added that she never fully bought into the official cause of death, believing it was the final surgery that really took a toll. “You know, his heart was compromised,” she said, adding she had always hoped to see her father live to 85 or beyond. Officially, medical records list the cause of death as acute myocardial infarction. Hulk had undergone heart surgery earlier that summer, but those close to him say it wasn’t something to be concerned about. A source told Us Weekly he was recovering and “not on death’s door.” The medical examiner’s records, obtained by Page Six, later revealed Hulk had a history of leukaemia (CLL, specifically), something Brooke said was kept secret from her.
On the same show, Brooke also opened up about Hulk’s third wife, Sky Daily. According to her, Hulk once admitted to trying to “find a way out” before tying the knot in September 2023. Brooke said Sky was always nice to her and her kids, but Hulk’s comments and Sky’s past links to Scientology raised red flags for her. Brooke claims Sky told the family she had left Scientology. But when Brooke checked, she found Sky was still in “good standing” with the Church. Brooke revealed that her final conversation with her father was when he called to apologise for “whatever he did.” She said that was the last time they spoke. After that, Hulk had a complete change of heart and went on to marry Sky against his daughter’s wish.

Later, after Hulk’s sudden death, Sky posted a public tribute, writing that she wasn’t ready to lose him and had truly believed they had more time. Brooke, meanwhile, penned a long note on Instagram, writing, “My dad’s blood runs through my veins… our bond has never broken.” Despite being estranged for over two years, she called their relationship “spiritual.” Meanwhile, according to TMZ, Police in Clearwater, Florida, say there’s no sign of foul play in Hulk Hogan’s death.
