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

Andrew Tate Extradition Docs Allege Underage ‘Fisting’ Demands: ‘I Want Your Whole Hand Up to Your Wrist’

Andrew Tate, the embattled manosphere influencer currently in federal detention in Miami, is facing a litany of new allegations in the United Kingdom, according to a request for extradition filed in U.S. federal court this week.

Tate has been accused, among other allegations, of producing pornographic material in 2015 with a girl who was 17 years old at the time, which is illegal in both the U.S. and the U.K. The allegations in the court document, which had been previously unreported, detail the relationship, during which Tate apparently demanded that she learn to “fist” herself — insert her entire hand into her vagina — because he had a “rich guy” who was willing to pay $1,000 for each video of this sexual act. “I want your whole hand up to your wrist,” he wrote to her, according to the filing.

NHL launches romance audiobook series after success of 'Heated Rivalry'

With the 2026-27 NHL season officially underway, the league is once again trying to grow its market size this year. From attempts to humanize its players through docuseries to letting the players compete in the Olympics again, Gary Bettman’s circuit is using seduction tactics- to mixed results.

After the wild and unexpected success of shows like Heated Rivalry and Off-Campus, hockey has by far become the biggest sport in the sports romance genre, on-screen and in books. For the NHL, that has translated to a new, largely female audience of first-time ticket buyers.

To try to capitalize on that hype, the league has launched a campaign called Hot for Hockey, and people have questions.
