Wrestling legend Hulk Hogan, also known as Terry Gene Bollea, passed away on July 24 at the age of 71 due to a heart attack, amid concerns about a recent leukemia diagnosis complicating his health situation.
Following his death, the cremation was delayed as questions arose regarding his medical care and the absence of an autopsy, leading his daughter, Brooke Hogan, to offer to personally fund the examination to clarify the circumstances of his passing.
Brooke, who had been estranged from her father for two years, revealed the emotional depth of their last conversation, where Hulk reportedly sought forgiveness, highlighting a complex and tumultuous father-daughter relationship that was marked by both love and hurt.
Opting to honor her father in her own way, Brooke chose not to attend his funeral, believing he wouldn’t have wanted one, instead commemorating him privately at the beach, sharing poignant reflections on social media.
The private funeral held on August 5 was attended by family and prominent figures from the wrestling world, creating a star-studded farewell that celebrated Hogan’s legacy and contributions to the sport.
Amidst the grief, Brooke openly criticized her estranged family members for their actions concerning Hogan's estate, asserting that their motivations were driven largely by financial interests, further complicating the emotional landscape surrounding his death.
