Brooke Hogan Claims Hulk Hogan Autopsy Still Being Changed Days Ago

The autopsy into Hulk Hogan’s death is still not done — and now his daughter says it was actually being changed just days ago.

Despite Hulk Hogan passing away in July 2025, the report meant to provide answers remains incomplete. During an April 23, 2026 interview with Bubba the Love Sponge, Brooke Hogan said adjustments were still being made to the autopsy, raising serious concerns about delays, transparency, and how the entire process has been handled.

The discussion began with Bubba the Love Sponge stepping in and openly questioning why, after all this time, neither Brooke nor the public has seen the autopsy results — especially given her status as Hogan’s daughter and next of kin.

“But I don’t understand why they have not publicly released the Hogan autopsy, and how you as Brian—would she be considered next of kin? I mean, she certainly is, and she is as the daughter. I know Brooke has battled and battled and battled, and to this very minute right now still has been jerked around. They will not—and Brooke, maybe I’m not supposed to talk about this, but I’m going to publicly talk about it because I like to put some pressure on them. There’s an autopsy supposedly done. They will not give her the results.”

That frustration set the tone for what followed, as Brooke detailed the kind of communication she’s been receiving — including messages that she believes were intentionally kept off the record, which only deepened her concerns about how the situation is being handled behind the scenes. She revealed that the doctor who did the independent autopsy was making changes as of a few days ago.

“The last text message I got was—and it’s crazy because this person asked if I could talk and was just asking me to speak on the phone because you don’t want to put it in writing—that tells me everything I need to know, is what it feels like. I could be totally wrong, but it was—um—I’ve been talking to the chief of police three times in the last four days. Apparently, the doctor who did the independent autopsy was making changes as of Sunday.”

After that, Bubba expanded on what he believes is a deeply unusual timeline — pointing out that an autopsy wasn’t even conducted immediately after Hogan’s death and only happened after pressure from Brooke and others who weren’t convinced by the initial explanations.

“Yeah. Like Brian, the guy’s been dead since July 25th or whatever the hell, last year, they never initially did an autopsy. They only did an autopsy after he was already embalmed. And just because Brooke and a few others raised all kinds of hell, because Brooke doesn’t necessarily—or other people don’t necessarily—believe how this has been reported, and nothing tells the story better than an autopsy. It’s my understanding that most medical examiners and police chiefs and municipalities and things like that, when you have a very, very, very high-profile celebrity, you just automatically do that to leave no stone unturned for foul play or anything like that.

It’s been absolutely a nightmare to even get them to do that. Initially, they said they weren’t going to. Finally, they did, and now Brooke can’t get the results, and they’re making changes. Like—what are you going to—what could you have learned two weeks ago?”

Brooke then addressed what might be the biggest issue of all — even if the autopsy is eventually released, she’s not convinced it will provide clear answers, especially given that it was performed after embalming and without key biological samples.

“I mean, at this point, I don’t even—I don’t even feel like it’s even going to be useful. They did it on an embalmed body. So yeah, you can get the mechanical thing like, ‘Yep, his phrenic nerve was severed, that’s for sure.’ But I mean, I’ve asked them like, ‘Where’s his blood?’ ‘Well, we couldn’t get the blood from the ambulance because he was already dead.’ You can’t get blood because you have to have a pulse, the pressure, right?

Well, then why didn’t they get it from—there’s a way that you can get it from an eyeball when somebody’s dead. Um, and when they drained his blood to embalm him—which makes me sick to my stomach, quite frankly—I cannot believe they put makeup on him and embalmed him. When I went to go see him, he just smelled of formaldehyde. It just made me sick.”

This builds on earlier reporting, which claimed Hogan’s phrenic nerve may have been severed during surgery — a critical detail since that nerve controls breathing. According to those findings, Hogan didn’t suffer a typical heart attack, but instead stopped breathing entirely.

Back in August 2025, Brooke Hogan had already made it clear that she was willing to go further to get answers, even offering to personally fund additional investigation if necessary.

“I’m glad to see that my dad has not been cremated and that Sky is waiting because of family questions. With all of the speculation and uncertainty of my dad’s death, I want to personally offer to pay for an autopsy if that's what it takes to get it done. My dad’s dignity and legacy deserves it.”

Now, with confirmation that the autopsy was still being revised just days ago, the situation remains unresolved — and the lack of clarity is only adding more scrutiny to an already complicated case. With no finalized report released and major questions still unanswered, the timeline and handling of Hogan’s death continue to face intense examination.
