Newly released bodycam footage from the Hulk Hogan death investigation is giving a raw look at what happened inside the wrestling legend’s Clearwater, Florida home before everything went sideways.
The footage shows investigators speaking with a home health aide who was with Hogan on the morning of July 24, 2025. Her account paints a rough picture: Hogan started the day awake, alert enough to brush his teeth, and moving through a normal morning routine before things took a deadly turn. The aide told investigators she arrived just before 7 a.m., and Hogan was already up upstairs.
“I got here around probably like 6:50-ish. I can’t remember my the girl who I was with, but he was already up in the bathroom upstairs sitting in the chair getting ready to brush his teeth.”
She said Hogan wasn’t exactly moving like a spring chicken, but nothing about him screamed emergency at that point. According to her, he had been moving slowly, but he was still functioning.
“I think he got up I think it was a Wednesday. If it was a Wednesday, I had him that Monday, I think. And he was fine. Like he was moving slow, but like wasn’t nothing.”
The aide then explained that Hogan went through the kind of basic morning routine his caretakers were used to seeing. He brushed his teeth, went downstairs, had a small breakfast, took his morning medication, and sat in his recliner.
“He brushed his teeth. We went downstairs. He didn’t normally eat breakfast, so he had a yogurt. I want to say the wife gave him his medicine, his morning medicine, and we sat him in the recliner.”
That’s where the bodycam footage gets eerie. The aide said occupational therapy arrived around 9:45 a.m., and Hogan was still breathing when the therapist came in.
“Probably I want to say around 9:45 occupational therapy occupational therapy got here. They had to order new toilets because I guess his his strength wasn’t what it normally was. So with us having to order new toilets, I showed occupational therapy came in. He was breathing. He was breathing when occupational came in.”
According to the aide, Hogan went to sleep in the chair, which was not unusual. She said he slept a lot during the day because he had trouble getting comfortable at night. But when the therapist later tried to get his vitals, the whole situation flipped fast.
“He came out. He was like, ‘Terry, I’ll be over in a minute to get your vitals.’ Went over and he was like, ‘I can’t get a pulse.’”
The aide said she tried to explain that cold hands can make it harder to pick up a pulse, but the therapist still couldn’t find anything. That’s when Sky Daily Hogan realized something was badly wrong.
“I also work at Largo Medical. I was like, ‘Sometimes if they’re cold, you got to rub it.’ And so he started rubbing his hand. He was like, ‘I still can’t get a pulse.’ So that’s when me and Sky I over and Sky was like, he’s not breathing.”
From there, the emergency kicked in. The aide said they called 911, lowered Hogan to the floor, and had the occupational therapist start CPR while they waited for first responders.
“We called 911. We lowered him to the ground, made the occupational therapist administer the CPR, the occupational therapist did the CPR, and we they worked on him and so 10 minutes later.”
When the investigator questioned the timeline, the aide clarified it felt more like 15 to 20 minutes. She also gave a brutally honest look at how bad things looked inside the home before paramedics took over.
“And then I mean basically we were like he passed away already, but they just kept working.”
The bodycam also shows how shaken the aide was by what happened. She told investigators she had spent two decades in care work and had never watched someone die like that before.
“In all my 20 years, I never seen nobody die.”
She said the whole thing hit her hard because it wasn’t just some routine medical scare. Even with hospital experience, she said she had never seen a patient code in front of her.
“Because not just a fall, it was I never had that happen to me. I even working in the hospital, I never saw a patient code. That was all scary to me. That was just a lot.”
The aide also explained that Hogan had been struggling physically before his death. She said he complained about back pain on other days, slept a lot during daytime shifts, and was often uncomfortable at night.
“But he barely was awake. He was always like sleeping during the day.”
She said overnight workers told her Hogan was constantly up and down, trying to get comfortable, and she had seen it herself during overnight shifts.
“I guess the overnight shift used to say he would be up and down a lot, which I can vouch for cuz I did a couple overnights and it was just like that. He wasn’t comfortable. He wanted to get up, go downstairs, and downstairs to go back upstairs.”
Because of that, the aide said Hogan sleeping during the day did not immediately raise red flags. In fact, she said he was usually only awake for a few hours during a full 12-hour shift.
“So, him sleeping in the day was really normal. On the average 7 to 7, I think he probably would be up 2 or 3 hours out of that.”
The bodycam footage does not change the official ruling that Hulk Hogan’s death was natural and caused by cardiac arrest, but it does give fans a much closer look at the final hours before the WWE icon died. According to the aide, Hogan started the morning awake and breathing, then suddenly became unresponsive while sitting in his recliner.
