Hulk Hogan died of natural causes, according to a report by Florida police that officially closes the investigation into the wrestler’s death.

Per a 72-page report released on Friday by the Clearwater Police Department that includes medical records, statements, and surveillance footage, “There has been no evidence to indicate the death of Terry Bollea was anything other than natural.” The report stated: “Through the course of the investigation, there has been no evidence to indicate any criminal wrongdoing related to his death. This case will be closed, and will be considered solved, non-criminal.”


Hogan died in Clearwater, Florida, at the age of 71 in July 2025 after paramedics responded to a “cardiac arrest” call at the wrestler’s home. Medical records reportedly revealed that Hogan was previously diagnosed with atrial fibrillation — a heart condition defined as having an irregular heart rhythm — and chronic lymphocytic leukemia, a form of cancer.

A month after his passing, Hogan’s daughter, Brooke, shared a lengthy statement on Instagram about the circumstances surrounding her father’s death. She claimed to have received calls from various professionals, including cops and nurses, who claimed to be with Hogan the day he died and told her that the police body cam footage and 911 tapes “supposedly contain information that could potentially shed enough light to change the narrative” (via People).

She continued: “Those same professionals feel so passionately about what they witnessed, they have continued to contact me and push me to find specific answers to this very day. They are quite literally putting their careers at risk because they feel so compelled to do the right thing. The short of it is — it’s all up to my dad’s wife and I have zero control. I can not do anything, my hands are tied, and I have no say in anything regarding my dad — even as his daughter. These are the rules as I’ve been told.”

According to the new report, Hogan’s wife Sky Daily Hogan, a home health aide, and an occupational therapist were with him at his home when he stopped breathing. Sky called 911 and CPR was performed until firefighters and paramedics arrived, the report stated.

Hogan had been suffering from numerous heath issues befo

A grand jury investigating the death of Nolan Xavier Wells unanimously decided against making any indictments, Jackson County District Attorney Angel Myers McIlrath said in a statement Monday night.

The 18-year-old football player from Ocean Springs, Mississippi, was with friends on Horn Island, a barrier island near the border of Mississippi and Alabama, when he disappeared on July 4. Two days later, a U.S. park ranger found his body on the island where he was last seen. Wells, apparently, had decided to stay on the island after his friends left by boat. He was last seen around 3 p.m. wearing blue swim trunks and sunglasses.
