Medical malpractice can be behind Hulk Hogan’s passing at the age of 71?
Recently, a report claimed that a therapist, who was with Hulk Hogan during his final moments, told the Clearwater police that the WWE icon’s phrenic nerve was cut during his surgery. The phrenic nerve is extremely crucial as it controls the diaphragm, the muscle that controls breathing.
Reportedly, the therapist told the police that the nerve was cut by a surgeon during Hulk Hogan’s surgery, and thus, he didn’t clutch his chest while having the cardiac arrest; rather, he collapsed and simply stopped breathing. It was Sky Daily that first noticed that something was wrong with the way Hulk Hogan passed away. TMZ reported that Law Enforcement revealed that the official police report was filed just after 911 was called from Hogan’s home.
The Clearwater Police Department is currently investigating the case and has been in touch with the family members, Nick and Brooke (Hulk’s children). The 911 tapes or bodycam footage have not been made public yet, as the case remains active. The investigation officer revealed that everything will take time, and they have decided to brief the family about the case to this point and then close the case before making the results of the investigation public. The investigators said:
“We plan to meet with the family and brief them on the case to this point, and we will share the results of the investigation with the family prior to closing the case and releasing it to the public and media.”

Talking more about the same, Brooke mentioned that police officers and nurses have reached out to her and urged her to conduct a deeper investigation into what had been witnessed.
