The Clearwater, Florida Police Department announced that its investigation into WWE legend Hulk Hogan’s death is complete, determining that Hogan died of an attended natural death.
A 72-page investigative report found no evidence of foul play or criminal wrongdoing.
Officers responded to Hogan’s home at 10:21 a.m. on July 24, 2025, after a call about a possible medical emergency. CPR was performed before Hogan, who was 71, was rushed to Morton Plant Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 11:17 a.m. His cause of death was listed as an acute myocardial infarction, while the report also noted his history of lymphocytic leukemia and atrial fibrillation.
“Following an exhaustive review of the statements, medical records, surveillance footage from within the residence, and a visual inspection of Mr. Bollea’s body, there has been no evidence to indicate the death of Terry Bollea was anything other than natural,” investigators wrote. “Through the course of the investigation, there has been no evidence to indicate any criminal wrongdoing related to his death.”
The investigation came after questions from those close to Hogan, whose real name was Terry Gene Bollea. His wife, Sky Daily, told police he had undergone neck spinal fusion surgery about six weeks before his death, heart valve surgery three weeks earlier, and chemotherapy for chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
A private autopsy arranged by Sky and Hogan’s son, Nick, also found he died “exclusively from compelling natural disease, with no reasonable traumatic or terminal toxicologic contributions.”
