HULK HOGAN'S BODY REMAINS UNCREMATED FIVE WEEKS AFTER HIS DEATH, DAUGHTER BROOKE MAKES U-TURN ON CONSPIRACY THEORIES

In a shocking twist, Hulk Hogan's body remains uncremated nearly five weeks after his dramatic death, sparking fresh controversy and conspiracy theories surrounding the wrestling legend's final hours. The news comes as his daughter Brooke makes an emotional u-turn on her claims of foul play, visiting her father's body at a Clearwater, Florida funeral home and meeting with detectives to glean more information about the investigation.

Hulk Hogan's widow, Sky Daily, confirmed to thescholarlynote.com that the wrestling icon's embalmed body remains at the funeral home, sparking questions about the delay in cremation. When asked if Hogan's body had been cremated yet, Sky firmly replied, "No." This revelation has left fans and family members alike stunned and confused, fueling speculation about the circumstances surrounding Hogan's death.

Brooke, 37, who was estranged from her father for many years, appeared somber as she emerged from the funeral home, clutching a memorial pamphlet bearing her father's real name, Terry Bollea. The singer, who has been vocal in calling for more answers about her father's final hours, seemed to have undergone an emotional transformation after visiting her father's body.

"I said a prayer over him and got to say my final goodbyes," Brooke revealed on close family friend Bubba the Love Sponge's radio show. "He looked like he was ready to go on TV – big, strong, hair looking good, bandana, Fu Manchu going on – he looked great."

However, just last week, Brooke reignited controversy surrounding her father's death, claiming that she had received calls from professionals who believed there may be evidence of foul play or medical malpractice. She demanded access to police bodycam footage and 911 tapes, stating that they could "change the narrative" of her father's sudden death.

Brooke had been estranged from her father and asked to be written out of his will in 2023, but has become the most vocal member of the family publicly demanding answers about his death

But now, it seems Brooke has had a change of heart, admitting that her visit to the funeral home was "very helpful" in alleviating her concerns. She confirmed that her father underwent an autopsy and praised the detectives for their transparency, stating, "Everybody appears to be acting in good faith and doing the right thing."

Brooke's online outburst last week came as Sky also poured fuel on the fire by alleging that Hogan could have been a victim of medical malpractice at the time of his death. TMZ reported that Hogan's phrenic nerve – which controls the ability to breathe – was "compromised" during recent surgery.

The medical examiner's certificate obtained by thescholarlynote.com indicated that Hogan's death was natural, caused by an acute myocardial infarction (heart attack). However, Brooke took to Instagram to challenge the findings, stating that she had received calls from professionals who believed there may be evidence of foul play or medical malpractice.

In a shocking twist, it has emerged that Hulk's third wife, Sky, had a private autopsy performed on her husband to help answer questions about his death. However, the findings have not been revealed.

The controversy surrounding Hogan's death has sparked a heated debate, with some fans questioning the official story. Radio personality and podcaster Bubba the Love Sponge called for Clearwater Police chief Eric Gandy to be fired over his handling of the death, stating that he had failed to preserve evidence and investigate properly.

As the investigation continues, it remains unclear what really happened on the day of Hogan's death. Was it a heart attack or something more sinister? The scholarynote.com will continue to follow this story and bring you updates as more information becomes available.
