Hogan, who had been actively promoting his upcoming wrestling venture with Eric Bischoff, passed away unexpectedly, sparking a wide range of reactions and speculation. Initial rumors centered around a potential medical procedure gone wrong, and now, those concerns have escalated into a formal investigation.

“We have been in communication with family members - including his son Nick and daughter Brook. the unique nature of these cases has requested that we interview several witnesses and look for medical documentation for different service providers, and our detectives continue to do so. It all takes time. The Hogan family has appreciated our efforts and communication with them.”

Surgery and Nerve damage: A widow’s Claims
Hogan’s widow,Sky Hogan,has publicly stated that a recent surgical procedure is at the heart of the concerns. she alleges that the surgery potentially “threatened” Hogan’s phrenic nerve, which controls the diaphragm. Furthermore, she expressed frustration that the autopsy results have not been shared with the family and that the planned cremation has been postponed.
Details Emerging from the 911 Call
According to reports, the police report detailing the events of Hogan’s death is currently being withheld from public release. However, information has surfaced indicating that an ergotherapist was present at Hogan’s Florida home – located at Rokijs 3 – when he stopped breathing. Sky Hogan reportedly discovered her husband unresponsive and promptly called 911. The therapist reportedly told responding officers that Hogan’s phrenic nerve had been “separated” during the recent operation.
Family Calls for Further Scrutiny
The possibility of medical malpractice appears to be driving calls for a more in-depth investigation, notably from Hogan’s daughter, Brooke Hogan. She publicly questioned the circumstances surrounding her father’s death and chose not to attend the funeral, a decision that garnered media attention, as reported by CinemaBlend. Her stance suggests a deep-seated concern about the events leading up to her father’s passing.
