Hulk Hogan died of natural causes, Florida police report says
Investigators found no evidence of foul play or drug abuse after reviewing medical records, surveillance footage and a private autopsy, police said.
- On Friday, the Clearwater Police Department released a 72-page report concluding that 71-year-old wrestling icon Hulk Hogan died of natural causes following an exhaustive review of statements, medical records, surveillance footage and body inspection.
- Hogan's health had declined significantly in the months before his July 24, 2025 death, with family members telling investigators he had recently undergone neck and heart surgeries, been diagnosed with leukemia, and dealt with kidney failure and dialysis.
- A home health aide arrived around 7 a.m. on July 24 and helped Hogan to a recliner; shortly after, an occupational therapist discovered him unresponsive, and his wife Melanie Sky Bollea called 911 as emergency responders began chest compressions.
- Brooke Hogan, 38, responded to the report on Monday, saying "I try to keep my mouth shut," but had previously questioned why her father's wife was allegedly the only person who noticed he wasn't breathing when two medical professionals were present.
- A private autopsy commissioned by the family confirmed the police findings through pathologist Dr. Daniel Schultz, who concluded Hogan died exclusively from natural disease with no traumatic or toxicological contributions, cementing the wrestling legend's legacy.
