Nearly a year after the passing of wrestling icon Hulk Hogan, authorities have officially concluded their investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death. A newly released report from the Clearwater Police Department has effectively closed the case, addressing the lingering questions that have persisted since the legend’s departure.
The investigative findings, spanning 72 pages, confirm that Hogan—born Terry Bollea—died of natural causes. The report classifies the event as an “attended natural death,” putting to rest months of speculation and internal family concerns regarding his final days. According to the documentation, investigators found no evidence of criminal wrongdoing or foul play during their extensive review.
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 that the death of Terry Bollea was anything other than natural.
Hulk Hogan passed away on July 24, 2025, at the age of 71, after collapsing at his residence in Florida. While he was quickly transported to a local medical facility, he could not be revived. The investigation included a thorough review of recordings from the home and interviews with key witnesses, including an occupational therapist who was present and attempted to provide assistance when Hogan stopped breathing.
An autopsy conducted shortly after his death in July 2025 determined the primary cause of death to be an acute myocardial infarction, or heart attack. Medical records also highlighted a history of atrial fibrillation and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), contributing to a complex medical profile that initially sparked uncertainty among his survivors.
In the months following his death, the Bollea family sought further clarity. In October 2025, they filed a petition to extend the statute of limitations to explore potential medical malpractice claims. Hogan’s daughter, Brooke Hogan, had previously voiced her confusion regarding her father’s health struggles, noting during a media appearance that the family did not have a history of cancer. However, she later clarified on social media that her inquiries were focused on understanding his complicated medical history rather than suggesting any criminal element.
The Clearwater Police Department expressed gratitude toward Hogan’s family, including his widow Sky Daily and his children Brooke and Nick Hogan, for their cooperation. Their willingness to provide access to personal records and private information during a period of grief was cited as a pivotal factor in allowing the department to reach a definitive conclusion. With the investigation now officially shuttered, the record stands clear: the wrestling world’s most recognizable figure passed away due to natural health complications.
