Hulk Hogan’s death stunned the wrestling world in July 2025, and now startling claims have come to light about his passing. TMZ reports that Law enforcement sources have claimed that an occupational therapist was present when Hogan stopped breathing. The occupational therapist, who is not named in the report, reportedly claimed that Hogan had been the victim of medical malpractice.
Hogan’s widow Sky told TMZ Sports that Hulk’s phrenic nerve was “compromised” during a recent surgery. The phrenic nerve stimulates the diaphragm, which controls breathing. Sky added that an autopsy has been conducted on her late husband, but did not share the results. Sky was the one to call 911 after seeing that her husband had stopped breathing.
TMZ were also told by their sources in law enforcement that there was a discussion by officers at the scene about the occupational therapist’s claims, and these talks are on body cam footage. Brooke Hogan recently claimed that police footage could change the narrative about her father’s death.
Hogan has not yet been cremated, Sky shared, amid ongoing questions about the wrestling icon’s final days. Our thoughts remain with Hogan’s family and friends at this sad time.
