In a surprising and candid moment on the Bubba The Love Sponge radio show Tuesday (Aug.5), Brooke Hogan publicly expressed doubts about the official cause of her father Hulk Hogan’s death, raising eyebrows and sparking a wave of fan support.

The wrestling icon, who passed away at age 71 on July 24, was reported by the District Six Medical Examiner to have died from a heart attack, with a history of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) also noted in his records. However, Brooke who has been estranged from her father for the last two years but shared a deep bond with him – questioned the leukemia diagnosis based on her firsthand experience with his medical care.

@the_bubba_army 💥 Brooke Hogan speaks out. She and Hulk’s ex-wife Jennifer were hands-on during his medical journey… So when she heard he had leukemia? “It doesn’t add up.” No cancer history. No red flags. Blood panels that looked perfect. What really happened? #HulkHogan #BrookeHogan #WrestlingTok #Leukemia #WWENews ♬ original sound - The Bubba Army

“Being through all the surgeries, you have to do a blood panel before any major surgery,” Brooke said during the impromptu call. “How did nobody catch a high white blood count? That’s what bothers me the most.”

She further revealed that she was often present for his surgeries and saw his blood work regularly, including after his heart surgery earlier this year. “One doctor, I quote, said, ‘His blood is like a 25-year-old,’” she said. “He took the most care of his body. He was going to an anti-aging specialist.”

Brooke’s skepticism deepened around the absence of an autopsy. “Yes, you can have a heart attack; but what was the reason for the heart attack is the question,” she stated. “To me the no autopsy and the leukemia out of nowhere hits me as BS.”

While TMZ reported that police found no suspicious circumstances surrounding Hogan’s death, and sources told Us Weekly that he was recovering well after serious heart surgery earlier this summer, Brooke remains unsettled by the official story.

Fans have taken notice and many are siding with Brooke’s perspective.

“It just doesn’t add up,” one fan shared on social media. “If Brooke saw the blood work, and doctors said his blood was like a 25-year-old, how does leukemia suddenly appear? We want transparency.” Another wrote, “Brooke has been close to her dad’s health journey. If she says something feels off, it deserves to be heard.”

Brooke’s love for her father was clear even after their estrangement. In a heartfelt Instagram statement after his passing, she wrote, “My dad’s blood runs through my veins. His eyes shine through my children. And our bond has never broken, not even in his final moments.” She added, “I am grateful that I knew the real version of him… a quiet, sacred bond.”

As the wrestling world and fans mourn Hogan’s passing, Brooke’s bold questions and the fan reaction highlight the desire for clarity and truth in the wake of a beloved icon’s death. Whether more details will emerge remains to be seen, but for now, Brooke and many fans are pushing for answers beyond the official reports.
