Brooke Hogan has found closure following the loss of her father, saying she is now certain there was no foul play in Hulk Hogan’s death, according to his autopsy.
The 37-year-old reality star spoke to TMZ Live after visiting Clearwater police, where she saw his body and reviewed evidence surrounding his passing on July 24. Brooke admitted she once had doubts, but said those fears eased once she witnessed the truth for herself.
“I never expected murder or anything like that, but I wanted to see the evidence for myself to put my mind at ease,” she explained. “I’m satisfied everything is on the up and up.”
Brooke shared that she had been worried her father might look very different five weeks after his death. Instead, she found comfort seeing him prepared for burial, wearing a black suit and a black bandana. “He looked just like him,” she said. “He looked like a badass and he looked like Hulk Hogan.”
Brooke Hogan also confirmed that doctors performed an autopsy on Hulk, though officials have not yet released the results. “There’s so much red tape. From what I understand, when it becomes a medical malpractice situation, it’s still considered a natural death,” she said.

“I got to see that an autopsy was indeed performed, and that is what I came here to do. A lot of those things put the pieces together.”
The visit also included reviewing the 911 call placed by Hulk’s wife, Sky Daily, which Brooke described as deeply painful. “Hearing Sky call 911 and hearing her voice was… how can I put this, probably 1,000 times worse for me than seeing my dad dead, honestly,” she admitted.
“The most traumatizing thing I heard was the 911 call. You hear the pure love and panic, and strife, and it was very hard to digest and to listen to. I was putting on my best game face in the police officers office to not absolutely sob hearing it.”
Brooke skipped her father’s funeral, saying Hulk disliked the “morbidity” and she preferred to grieve in private. Now, after seeing him again, she says she can move forward knowing he rested with dignity and still looked every inch the wrestling icon.
