Hulk Hogan death: Brooke Hogan offers to pay for autopsy amid 'speculation and uncertainty'

Brooke Hogan, the daughter of late WWE legend Hulk Hogan, is offering to pay for an autopsy for her father. Brooke went to Instagram and said that there is “speculation and uncertainty” surrounding her father’s death.

“I’m glad to see that my dad has not been cremated and that Sky is waiting because of family questions,” Brook Hogan wrote in her Instagram Story on Thursday (per TMZ Sports). With all of the speculation and uncertainty of my dad’s death, I want to personally offer to pay for an autopsy if that’s what it takes to get it done. My dad’s dignity and legacy deserves it.”

Brooke’s offer to pay for the autopsy comes one day after Hulk Hogan’s wife, Sky, said they haven’t cremated the pro wrestling legend “as our family is making sure every question about his medical care is answered first.” Hogan died on July 24, and it’s been reported that he died of a heart attack.

On Tuesday, a private funeral service was held for Hogan in Clearwater, Florida. Brooke didn’t attend the funeral and went to Instagram to explain why.

“My father hated the morbidity of funerals. He didn’t want one,” she wrote. “And although I know people grieve in many ways — and I’m so grateful for all celebrations and events organized to honor him — as his daughter, I had to make my own decision to honor him the best and most genuine way I knew how…privately…the way that made me feel the closest to him.”

She continued: “Daddy, we honored you in the simplest way that agreed with my soul. We took our babies to the beach, and put them in the same salty waters you loved. Molly loved the water. I think she’ll be a ‘little fish,’ as you called me. We love you and honor the things that made you so special. Every grain of sand and every wave reminded me of being your beach baby, and brought us closer to you. I pray you are at peace and know how dearly I love you.”

Hulk Hogan was arguably the biggest star in pro wrestling history. He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame twice and is a member of the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame Class of 2003. In his WWE career, Hogan won the WWE Championship six times, won the Royal Rumble match twice and won the WWE Tag Team Championship once with Edge.
