Hulk Hogan Death Investigation Officially Closes, Cops Find No Evidence Of Criminal Wrongdoing
The investigation into Hogan’s death closes.
An 11-month investigation into the death of Terry Bollea a.k.a. Hulk Hogan has closed. Cops revealed on Friday that he passed due to natural causes and there was no evidence of criminal wrongdoing.
Rob Shaw, a spokesperson of the Clearwater, Florida Police Department, gave a statement to The California Post and shared that investigators are calling Bollea’s death ‘an attended natural death.’
“We want to thank the family of Mr. Bollea — Sky, Nick and Brooke — and their attorney, Kevin Hayslett, for their cooperation,” Shaw said. “Their willingness to allow our investigators access to very personal information, at a time when they were grieving and struggling, was extremely helpful. We would not have had the legal justification to obtain much of the information without their cooperation.”
The WWE Hall of Famer passed away at 71 years old on July 24th, 2025. A 70-page case master report shed light on Bollea’s final days. He had told several people close to him that he was in rough shape after multiple surgeries.
On the day of his death, Bollea was with his wife, Sky Daily, and two healthcare workers when they noticed he stopped breathing while sitting in a recliner chair. The report notes that Daily called 911, and one of the healthcare workers performed CPR.
Bollea was then taken to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead. At the time, authorities did not suspect foul play.
Below is an excerpt from the private autopsy report that cops wrote about Bollea:
“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. Through the course of the investigation, there has been no evidence to indicate any criminal wrongdoing related to his death.”
Bollea’s daughter, Brooke, has called her father’s cause of death into question, and more about that can be read here.
