Wrestling icon Hulk Hogan was buried in a private service, with intimate friends, family, and wrestling peers. The 71-year-old icon reportedly passed away from a heart attack on July 24 at 11:17 AM at his Clearwater Beach residence. Medical history included a history of severe leukemia as a causality.
Brooke Hogan Raises Doubts
In spite of the official report, Hogan’s daughter Brooke Hogan publicly wondered about the reason behind her father’s death. During a recent guest appearance on The Bubba the Love Sponge Show, Brooke bemoaned disbelief over the leukemia diagnosis. “I do think it’s strange that no autopsy was done,” she said. “If he was doing breathing exercises and recuperating, then the heart surgery was successful. That’s what bothers me.”
Brooke said that she had followed her father’s medical history closely over years of procedures and therapies and had never once seen a reference to leukemia. “One doctor even told us that his blood was that of a 25-year-old,” she said, also revealing that her dad got blood panels on a regular basis and consulted with an anti-aging expert. “How did no one detect a high white blood cell level if he had leukemia?
She also questioned the hereditary link, asserting, “Cancer doesn’t run in our family. It just seems weird.”
