Hulk Hogan police respond to wild conspiracy theories over WWE icon's tragic death

The police officers overseeing the death of WWE icon Hulk Hogan have dismissed wild conspiracy theories raised by his daughter, Brooke.

Hogan, real name Terry Bollea, died on July 24 from a cardiac arrest, according to a Florida medical examiner's office. 

The 71-year-old had previously had leukemia and atrial fibrillation, an irregular heart rhythm, the report from the District Six Medical Examiner also said. 

However, despite his previous health issues, Hogan's daughter Brooke took to social media in the days that followed to accuse the authorities of foul play.

Brooke had shared an article by radio personality Bubba the Love Sponge which read: 'Quick cremation without autopsy raises questions about Hulk Hogan's death'. 

Now, the Clearwater Police Department have put the theories to bed. According to TMZ, they said: 'As previously stated, there are no signs of foul play or anything suspicious about the death'.  

Hogan was pronounced dead at a hospital less than 90 minutes after medics arrived at his home in Clearwater to answer a call about a cardiac arrest on the morning of July 24, police said. The report said the cause of death was 'natural.' 

Bubba's allegations include that Hogan's body has already been cremated, somebody could have injected something into the wrestler's dialysis port while he slept to induce a heart attack and questions around why an autopsy wasn't carried out.

Bubba, whose real name is Todd Clem, also references the fact that Hogan's wife Sky Daily has links to Scientology and pointed out that Hogan has an estate that he claims to be worth in the region of $40million to $50m. 

Clem did not offer facts to substantiate his stunning claims, which stem from a report in the Tampa Bay Times from July 31 that says Hogan was 'doing therapy' when he collapsed at his home in Clearwater Beach on July 24.

The report says paramedics told staff at Morton Plant Hospital that Hogan had just returned home from surgery and was 'currently waiting to start dialysis'. Clem claims nobody knew the wrestling icon was due to begin dialysis.

In a bid to revive him, medics reportedly gave Hogan drugs that can treat excessive levels of potassium, a sign of kidney failure. These can lead to cardiac arrest. 

Hogan was also given two milligrams of Narcan, the drug that can quickly reverse opioid overdoses. There is no indication that Hogan had overdosed. 

However, The Tampa Bay Times also revealed the Pinellas County Medical Examiner did not perform an autopsy on Hogan because his death was not deemed to be suspicious. 

'There were no signs of foul play or suspicious activity,' Maj. Nate Burnside of the Clearwater Police Department also told reporters. 

According to his death certificate, Hogan is going to be cremated at the Bay Area Crematory in Clearwater. A specific date for that has not yet been announced.

A spokesperson for the medical examiner's office confirmed a request for cremation on July 31, telling Page Six: 'I'm not aware of when Mr. Bollea will be cremated, only that we've received a request for cremation approval.'

Bubba and Hogan had a complex relationship. The wrestler was the best man at Bubba and wife Heather's wedding, but was then filmed having sex with her in 2012.

In 2016, a Florida jury awarded Hogan $115million and an additional $25million in punitive damages in a lawsuit against Gawker Media because it obtained and posted an excerpt of video of his sexual encounter with Heather. The jury agreed with Hogan's claim that the post violated his privacy.

Hogan ended up settling the case for millions less after Gawker filed for bankruptcy.

Brooke, meanwhile, was estranged from both of her parents for years before he passed and she has taken herself out of her father's will. 

She phoned into Bubba's Twitch stream on Tuesday and, when asked for her thoughts on some of his theories, said: 'I do think it's weird that no autopsy was performed.

'Because yes you can have a heart attack, but what was the reason for the heart attack? If he was up and doing breathing exercises then that means the surgery on his heart was a success and it was working.

She also added that 'the leukemia out of nowhere hits me as BS' and insisted she never knew of that diagnosis. 

Brooke continued: 'I would be surprised if a surgeon would work on someone with leukemia or a high blood cell count and not do further investigations. I told my dad "put cameras in your house because one of these b******* could push you down the stairs and nobody would ever know".'

She also claimed she told her late father not to marry Sky because of his concerns about her links to Scientology.
